Program Goals and Benefits
The protocol enables Dr. Greiche Group to establish a strategic partnership with the Academy and the Ministry, focusing on developing national talent in glass manufacturing. As part of the program, Dr. Greiche Group will provide students with field training opportunities at its factories and cover 50% of tuition fees, ensuring students have the best possible chance at professional success.
