UNIVERSITY FORUM

Dear T&I community,

It is with great excitement and pride that IAPTI announces it is renewing its contact with universities through its University Forum initiative.

Thanks to this enterprise, headed by Armando Ezquerra Hasbum, the interpreter in charge of IAPTI’s University division, universities around the world will be able to attain invaluable information for those we like to call our “future colleagues” rather than students.

We will be sharing wide-ranging information for our future colleagues, prepared by IAPTI’s staff team so they may have the necessary tools and knowledge to succeed in the professional field they choose.
