Baku - IOM Azerbaijan continues to support the local actors and higher educational institutions in their engagement with youth within the project of Public Action for Resilience (PAR) activity, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). As a part of the local partners' collaboration, the USAID LAB – a center for IT/Computer classes has been established at the University of Technology of Azerbaijan (UTECA) in Ganja city. The LAB has been provided with the 17 all-in-one PCs, and the necessary furniture.

It should be noted that a similar "USAID LAB" recently has been established for students of Lankaran State University based in Lankaran city.

As a result of the spread of the COVID-19, education has changed dramatically, with the distinctive rise of e-learning, whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital platforms. In this regard, these USAID LABs will enhance the capacity of the universities in delivering online classes in the post-pandemic era, as well as improve the IT skills of the students. The labs will be utilized by students and the academic staff.
