Every day at ISET is devoted to teaching and studying, but October 15, 2013 was a day especially dedicated to education issues. ISET introduced its new Human Resources (HR) concentration and hosted Maia Miminoshvili, the Director of the National Examinations Center, in a joint event.
In the first part of the event, Muhammad Asali, the ISET professor coordinating the new concentration and Rusudan Medzmariashvili, a representative of BP Georgia – the donor organization for the new program – gave some background information regarding the HR concentration. BP Georgia has been with ISET since the very beginning and continues to generously support us by funding a specific focus on human resources. As Mrs. Medzmariashvili mentioned, ISET is an exception among BP-funded projects and the organization will continue to support our institution due to ISET’s contribution to Georgia’s future and the evident continuous enhancement of quality. Seven ISET students have already enrolled in the HR concentration.
On October 11, 2013, ISET was pleased to host Swiss Ambassador to Georgia H.E. Günther Bächler. In introducing his presentation the ambassador outlined his interesting career track, which started with a BA in Art and History of Art and then moved to conflict studies and diplomacy.
The presentation continued with a discussion of the early development of Switzerland, particularly how the country, which was considered among the poorest some 200 years ago, transformed in one of the leading countries, strong and stable both economically and politically. He then drew some parallels between the early history of Switzerland and the current situation in Georgia.
