This gave them an opportunity to closely observe a real working environment and gain first-hand insight into the requirements of the labor market in this field.
The students also listened to a detailed explanation from the technical and engineering staff at the plant regarding the modern technologies used, the adopted occupational safety procedures, as well as the challenges facing the cement industry sector.
This scientific trip comes as part of a series of academic activities organized by the department, aiming to develop students’ skills and enhance their practical experience, which contributes to preparing engineering staff capable of efficiently entering the labor market after graduation.
