A delegation of 20 female and 18 male students from different colleges at Palestine Polytechnic University returned to the University after a two-week academic visit to the University of Michigan in Detroit and Ann Arber in America.
The visit included students’ participation in workshops on entrepreneurship, life skills and brainstorming, in addition to having training in companies and institutions, each according to his/her specialization.
It is noteworthy that this visit has been part of entrepreneurship education and community project, funded by the Cultural Section of the American Consulate and offered to the University last year.
