For all of those interested in studying in the U.S..........
The American Education Expo will be held in Kuwait, on Tuesday October 4, 2011 at the Regency Hotel located at Al Bida’a Al Tawoon Street Kuwait City, Kuwait from 6:00PM-9:00PM.
The United States remains the top destination for foreign students seeking higher education. In 2010, over 560,000 students from around the world enrolled at American colleges and universities. The stabilizing numbers prove that America is still the home of the best college education money can buy. The American institutions are also still able to offer this invaluable investment at affordable prices.
Along with the ability to meet undergraduate and graduate admissions officers, the Expo now hosts a Scholarship Fair. Students will be able to find out about the scholarship opportunities at the presenting colleges and universities. We ask students to bring multiple copies of their report cards, transcripts, and TOEFL scores to the Expo. This will allow the representatives to determine your admission eligibility, and how much you can earn towards your education!
Every year, the biggest American Education Expo takes place in Kuwait.
The event on Tuesday October 4, 2011 will be held at the Regency Hotel located at Al Bida’a Al Tawoon Street Kuwait City, Kuwait. The American Expo is supported by the US Department of Commerce.
The event will open at 6:00PM - 9:00PM and it is open for students and parents. Admission to the event is free. For more information and to register visit http://www.studentlane.com/

Saudi Gazette - Secondary schools for vocational training soon
Maybe Kuwait should take some notes from KSA. It seems the GCC countries are starting to take control of their countries from foreign workers. It's not bad to work in the private sector. My first job was at Burger King which was cool to a high school kid.
In the states Americans work all jobs. Working as a garbage man or public works fixing the streets is a city job and used to pay pretty good. If citizens would get off their high horse and realize that working in the private sector is a way of giving back to their country instead of thinking they are too good things might be different
My mom met a young Kuwaiti youth who works in Al Ghanim, she was surprised at first but then praised him for working as a salesman. Way to go little man!
Saudi Gazette - Secondary schools for vocational training soon:
"JEDDAH – The Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC) is setting up secondary schools for students who have completed their intermediate courses to serve as a nucleus for the creation of a generation of blue collar workers trained in different trades.
Dr. Ali Bin Nasser Al-Ghafis, Governor of the TVTC, said here Tuesday that the graduates of these secondary schools will be able to pursue their higher technical education at technical colleges.
He said the syllabi taught at these schools have been designed to produce skilled workers for various industries. These workers will gradually replace the one million skilled foreign workers in the country.
Moreover, graduates will be trained to start their own small businesses which will contribute to the country’s national economy.
Al-Ghafis said there are 35 technical colleges functioning under the corporation’s supervision teaching more than 40 specializations. This includes electronics, electricity, mechanics, environment, nutrition, communications, telecommunications, hardware, software, hotels, tourism, civil engineering and architecture. The corporation also has 14 higher technical institutes for women.
More than 78,000 male and female candidates have already applied for enrollment in the country’s technical colleges.
He said the corporation is busy constructing 50 technical colleges and 42 high technical institutes for females in the Kingdom, to be completed in 3 years. Al-Ghafis said the corporation has now started the infrastructure for 300 education projects including technical colleges and vocational institutes.
Good ideas KSA!
