Contracting of a training center for the training of teachers in web programing

IECD (Institut Européen de Coopération et de Développement) is a French non-governmental organization founded in 1988 and operating in the field of social and economic development in partnership with local institutions. IECD’s main sectors of action are vocational training and professional integration, assistance to micro and small enterprises and access to education and health for the most vulnerable. In Lebanon, IECD has been operating in the country since 1994 and opened a regional office in Beirut in 2007. (www.iecd.org)

Semeurs d’Avenir is a Lebanese association, created in 2010, registered under the number 1905. It is the operational partner of IECD in vocational and professional training. (www.sda-lb.org)

Both organizations support the Ministry of Education and Higher Education to improve Lebanese technical education and training and adapt it to the needs expressed by the labor market.

This work first resulted in the creation and implementation of two technical baccalaureates (BT) in Electrical Engineering and Industrial Maintenance, respectively in 2010 and 2017.
