Continuing Education Center
The AUPS Continuing Education Center (CEC) organizes, realizes and
coordinates the educational programs offered to the public.
The basic aim of (CEC) is to carry out short and long term educational
programs to meet the continuing education needs of actors in the society. By
benefiting from the expert skills of the university’s various faculty units and
presenting educational choices which are compatible with the individual’s career
and personal development, (CEC) aims not only to help individuals and
professionals succeed in the evolving conditions of the world and the workplace,
but also to serve for the improvement of the country by developing cooperation
between the university and the public, between the private sector and
international organizations.
(CEC) has been carrying out those programs thanks to its experienced
faculty members and qualified counsel professionals, for creative people
interested in developing their skills and improve their productivity; by doing
so the Center continues to successfully serve the public and ensure public
welfare.
In addition to this mission, the Center focuses on meeting the
educational needs and demands coming both from within the University and from a
variety of domestic entities.
Indeed, our environment is rapidly changing, especially our
appreciation of technology; the Center offers the opportunity to acquire the
needed skills to keep up with these evolutions and give the public the ability
to keep up with those changes. The raison of continuing education comes from
this goal of adapting to those changes, in order to reach standards of developed
countries and provide the society with a qualified and future oriented
workforce.
In this respect, (CEC) contributes to the development of the
University’s research and academic fields through seminars, activities and
extra-curricular educational programs. This enables cooperation with the public
service, the private sector and international institutions, with the aim of
serving those sectors and, more broadly, the community.
