A Landmark Educational Institution
This school, the first of its kind in Algeria, aims to elevate the standard of continuous training in the management of major projects related to public works and infrastructure. It will play a crucial role in training educators, qualifying senior executives, and strengthening human capacities across various specializations required by the sector, according to Minister Rekhroukh.
The establishment of this school underscores Algeria’s commitment to developing expertise in public works, ensuring the availability of skilled professionals to lead ambitious infrastructure projects.
