Hormozgan Steel's Fara programme will allow metallurgy and mechanical engineering students to complete 40 practical course credits in a real industrial setting, according to technology deputy Ehsan Rasouli.
The proposal was brought to the company by the University of Hormozgan and approved after an internal review. Rasouli compared the approach with medical education, where students gain practical experience in hospitals during their studies.
Students will become familiar with steelmaking processes and workplace requirements alongside their academic education. The programme is intended to reduce the gap between university training and the skills that industrial employers need.
