Training of Civil Servants of Various State Departments at YSU

Since 2021, the YSU Continuing Education Center has been conducting various professional training courses for civil servants. Cooperation with Ministries of High Tech Industry, ESCS, Economy, State Supervision Service, and many regional governorates, including Armavir, Vayots Dzor, Syunik, Shirak, Gegharkunik, Lori, etc., is particularly close. Since 2023, the Television and Radio Commission has also joined the group. The courses started in October 2023 and will continue until the end of the year.

The base of programs is created by YSU Continuing Education Center employees, taking into account the professional educational needs of civil servants, and offers innovative university programs. Some of the courses refer to the legislative field, there are highly professional programs related to labor relations and their regulation, as well as to the given field of the civil service system. Every year, the above-mentioned database is updated, and the necessary curriculum is selected and offered to the civil service system.

The courses are conducted by YSU's best professors from the Faculties of Economics and Management, Philosophy and Psychology, International Relations, Law, History, Armenian Philology, and Journalism, as well as specialists in the field from other organizations.

Courses are conducted remotely, taking into account the geographical location of the students. At the end of the training, employees pass a test, not only collecting points but also acquiring professional knowledge corresponding to the requirements of their position. The systemic novelty of this year is that civil servants choose classes not only on a mandatory basis but also by right.

The variety and volume of the programs and the responses of the managers of the fields testify to the success and demand of the continuing education programs, as well as the professional work of the organizers and teachers. The results are analyzed at the end of the training, and appropriate conclusions are made regarding improving the program or changing the test questionnaire.
