Focus on research

Education

THE Datec Learning Centre at University of Technology in Lae has introduced a research and development arm to focus on student research.
The centre is one of the first in the country and is offering training in corporate, academic and professional development, said its information communications technology trainer Paul Alex.
“The corporate programme was run only in Port Moresby but last year the programme was offered also in Lae together with the other two,” he said.
The centre also offers internship programmes with businesses where students get work experience for six months.
Alex said Datec Centre has been focusing on IT, but this year it will include office management as part of a new course called Advanced Professional Diploma in IT and Business Administration.
