The PHEI scholars are in Vancouver to complete the program “Training of Trainers on Instruction and Delivery and Twinning Program in the Field of Aeronautics,” which is being conducted by the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) from 24 November to 07 December 2024, under CHED’s Local Graduate Scholarships Office’s (LGSO) Higher education Upskilling and Study for Advancement of Staff and Faculty (HUSAY) Program.
