In addition to new universities, Higher Institutes of Technology (ISET) have been created in Tunisia to provide specialty training in areas such as management, computer technology and industry. So far, 12 such institutes have been set up successfully, and there are plans to establish a further 12 to give coverage in each of the country’s 24 governorates. The new ISETs will contain a new component, a Management Training Center, to address the needs of SMEs. The project will build an ISET in the governorate of Beja, situated some 80 km from the capital city Tunis. The 22,246-m2 institute will be able to accommodate 1,500 students per year.
