About the Unit

It is a unit of the institute’s units headed by a lecturer within the institute’s formations. This unit is one of the newly created formations in Iraqi academic institutions in line with their counterparts in global academic institutions, especially in advanced capitalist systems that rely on the labor market and supply and demand as the basis for managing the accuracy of operation in the economies of those countries, as most of their economic institutions are managed by the private sector, which in turn is a developed sector over the long period of its establishment, which relies on competition and monopolistic competition as the basis in the process of operation, employment and production, which prompts those productive institutions to search for the best ways to develop their products to win the competition, and among those ways is searching for well-qualified workers to work in their institutions, in addition to searching for the best modern innovations carried out by academic institutions to contract with them and apply those innovations and scientific developments in developing their products.
