The International School of Economics at TSU (ISET) invites applications for the 2015/16 program “Finance for Professionals”, aiming at executives, managers, and administrative personnel who want to upgrade their competency in finance. Managed by Paul Henri Forestier (former director for Caucasus, Moldova and Belarus, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)), the program will be delivered from November 2015 to June 2016. The language of instruction is English. Lectures will take place in the evening hours on the ISET premises in central Tbilisi. Successful graduates will receive a certificate of completion.
The program is sponsored by ProCredit Bank Georgia.
October 16 is celebrated around the globe as World Food Day. On this day, volunteers from all countries step forward to inspire commitment towards ending hunger worldwide. In response to WFD’s official motto “when it comes to hunger, the only acceptable number in the world is zero”, researchers from ISET Policy Institute donated food items to Catharsis Georgia – a charitable organization that, among other services, feeds 310 elderly in need every day.
During the visit researchers were taken on a tour inside the house and had an opportunity to explore the inner workings of this benevolent organization. They visited the kitchen, a recreational place for the elderly, their in-house church, a library, a gym, and had chance to talk to seniors sipping tea in the specially arranged bar.
