Pédagogie

Our training program employs a diverse range of teaching methods to stimulate engagement and collaboration between participants. The interleaving of theory and practice favors assimilation of the target skills.

They consist of:

  • Expert-Led Sessions: Led by experienced professionals from the industry and academia, these sessions promote knowledge sharing and skill-building.
  • Practical Case Studies: Group discussions, and hands-on exercices encourage participants to exchange industry experiences, practices, and valuable insights with fellow professionals.

Each participant completes a self-proposed personal project following these milestones:

  • Pre-Course Assignment: Participants will submit a brief abstract outlining their independent project proposal, which they will work on throughout the course.
  • Continuous practice: The participants apply the skills seen during classes to their project throughout the year.
  • Final Presentation: An oral presentation concludes this personal project where participants showcase their accomplishments and highlight the skills, they’ve developed during the training program.
