We have a number of education programs in communities - from professional re-trainings up to environmental education and sports initiatives for pupils, trainings in agriculture and more targeted education programs.We believe that education is a pledge for success. Recently, we have decided to engage in larger-scale initiatives in the country apart from local education programs. The cooperation with Luys Foundation was one of the formats of ensuring more targeted approaches to ensure development of education.Metal mining needs highly qualified workforce including eco- management, geology, engineering, social sciences and economy. Last year, we decided to support Luys Foundation hoping our financial assistance will help several students go to top universities of the world. One day they will implement their knowledge in Armenia’s development, and, why not, improvement of mining industry in Armenia. We hope our cooperation with Luys Foundation will be ongoing. Working with Luys graduates can be one of the options. Geoteam also offers Luys students an exclusive chance to meet with world-class experts working within the Amulsar project.
