The Fourth Phase of the RISE Project Officially Commences
As part of the ongoing activities of the RISE Project—an initiative focused on internationalization and employability and implemented by Sulaimani Polytechnic University (SPU) through its International Relations Office and Career Development Center (CDC)—the project team launched the first day of a Training of Trainers (ToT) course.
The course is being held from May 17 to May 21, 2026, with the participation of representatives from all colleges and institutes affiliated with Sulaimani Polytechnic University.
On the opening day, Assistant Professor Dr. Sarhang Sarwat Hama delivered the first session, titled “Leadership Vision for Internationalization.” This was followed by a presentation titled “Internationalization of Higher Education,” jointly delivered by Assistant Professor Dr. Awder Mohammed Ahmed and Ms. Chra Ali Hama. The sessions concluded with interactive group activities involving all participants.
The RISE Project is specifically designed to strengthen international relations and support the activities of the Career Development Center at Sulaimani Polytechnic University.
It is worth noting that the primary objective of this course is to train faculty members and postgraduate students (Master’s and PhD candidates) in the fields of internationalization and employability. Furthermore, the course aims to familiarize participants with opportunities for global coordination, collaboration, and strategic partnerships.
