ArmInfo. ArmenTel (Beeline brand) is the general sponsor of Skills at
Work, a business project competition among high vocational schools of
Armenia. The organizers of the competition are British Council, Junior
Achievements of Armenia and the Ministry of Science and Education.
By Sept 20 students of high vocational schools may submit essays
on the subject "What I would do if I were Director General of
ArmenTel." The authors of the 50 best essays will take part in the
national competition of business projects to be held in Tsaghkadzor
this autumn. The winners will receive prizes from ArmenTel and
will undergo onsite training at the company. The best contestant
will represent Armenia at the international finals in Serbia in the
spring 2010.
Over 1,500 students from different countries took part in Skills at
Work last year.
"We must overcome our stereotype against high vocational education. It
is better to be a good welder or cook than a bad economist or
doctor. People will gradually understand this and more and more youths
will seek to get vocation education. This initiative is one step to
this end," says Head of High Vocational Education Department of the
Ministry of Science and Education of Armenia Artak Agbalyan.
"I very much like working with young people. They show quite original
attitudes to ordinary things. I would very much like to know how they
see their future," says Director General of ArmenTel I.Klimko.
