In cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, funded by the World Bank and the European Union, the Department of Biotechnology opened a training program for the fourth-level students in the department of Biotechnology. The training program will continue until 11/9/2009.
The program training sessions will be at a rate of ten consecutive weeks (4) hours per day, the training program aims to prepare graduates to a high level of professional skills and capabilities of research in the branches of biotechnology.
For his part, Dr Basem Ayesh – Chief of Molecular Biology at the Ministry of Health, one of the trainers in the program – spoke about the technical applications presented by the training program through a variety of themes and thematic areas.
Dr. Ayesh expressed his appreciation for the significant interaction of the students who participating in the program and their desire to apply scientific theory courses on the ground.
Dr. Ayesh clarified that the training program is designed to pave the way for graduate students to integrate into the market, practical life, and to identify the mechanisms of scientific work in the life outside the university, and the identification of advanced technologies world works.
Dr. Ahesh commended the role of the World Bank and the European Union in supporting the projects and courses that qualify students for integration into the labor market after graduation, through the experiences and skills acquired by training.
Dr. Ayesh called the funded programs to include training devices and equipment to help students to develop their potential and prove their merit in the area of specialization.
In turn, Bushra Al Taweel – a biotechnology student – thanked the funder of the training program, which allowed them the opportunity to learn the concepts and the practical techniques they need to know; in order to strengthen the theoretical part of the specialization.
Amenah Smrah – a biotechnology student – spoke about the motive behind the choice of the specialization of biotechnology as a new specialization and gives the opportunity for graduate students to produce new things for the community needs without the help of neighboring countries.
For his part, the student Mohamed Ajjour – the fourth level of specialization biotechnology – that the motivation behind the choice of the specialization of biotechnology, is this: the desire to create a new reality of development, construction and reliance on domestic production, and capacity as the role of the student training programs in the definition of the students on how to deal with the modern equipment in the laboratory and apply to the researches on the ground.
