The Las Americas Institute of Technology (ITLA) is coordinating the first Inter American Superior Education Technical and Technological Space (EIESTEC) program sponsored by the regional Iberoamerican University Organization (OUI). A first of the activities is scheduled for 15-16 November 2018 and will take place in Punta Cana.
The program seeks to bring together the technical and technological institutes in the Americas, such as ITLA, that offer short careers. The platform allows for sharing experiences for the strengthening of training programs, research and innovation in short careers for the technical and technological institutes in the Americas. EIESTEC was founded in 2014.
ITLA rector, José Armando Tavarez, says the ITLA will use the opportunity to position the ITLA and the Dominican Republic abroad as an example for the Americas and the world.
The new program will increase the offering of short courses, micro workshops, annual encounters and applied research projects focusing on improving the quality of technical and technological learning at the university level.
The ITLA is a government owned university.
