within the framework of supporting the advanced technical education system, linking it to industrial needs, and highlighting its role in preparing qualified human resources capable of meeting the demands of the modern labor market, the SIDPEC Applied Technology School received a high-level official visit. The visit was attended by Chemist / Mohamed Zakaria Al-Afandi, Chairman of SIDPEC; Dr. Amr Bosila, Head of the Central Administration for the Development of Technical Education and Director of the Unit for the Operation and Management of Applied Technology Schools; Mrs. Shaimaa Mamdouh, Deputy Head of the same unit; Dr. Nevine El-Nahhas, Head of Al-Amriya District; and Chemist/ Ahmed Mowakea, Chairman of the Egyptian Petrochemicals Company, accompanied by a number of SIDPEC senior executives. The visit began inside the SIDPEC company premises, where the delegation inspected the General Administration of Polyethylene Laboratories, Research and Studies, in order to follow up on the training process and observe the students’ integration within the Gas and Physical Properties Laboratory, the Final Products and Applications Laboratory, and the Chemical Properties Laboratory.
