Our students had a chance to speak directly with representatives of U.S. universities, language programs and summer schools. They visited each school's booth, talked to people who teach and work there, and took home brochures and applications.
Education fairs have been an established way of meeting universities and their representatives for many years. Arranged and promoted by commercial and governmental organizations alike, education fairs provide an exciting format for potential students and universities to meet one another.
There is a huge demand for skilled workers in Azerbaijan. We hope these fairs will act as a stepping-stone for our students who want to take advantage of global education.
