Cooperative Training and Community Partnership

Overview

The Cooperative Training Program is a joint project between the College of Computer Science and Information Technology and employers with the aim of preparing college students for work fields after graduation. Through this program, the student trains in a public or private institution appropriate to his specialization in order to gain practical experience. Cooperative training is an important part of the college's bachelor's program, as the student acquires new concepts and skills other than those studied in the college. The program also links the scientific and theoretical theories and principles taught to students, and professional life in the fields of work with the aim of improving understanding and opening new horizons for students through practicing professional work in an appropriate work environment.
