Gateway’s ongoing relationship with Morocco began with two Higher Education Department (HED) grants with partner school, Ecole Superieire de Technologie d’Oujda, Morocco. Gateway led a successful implementation of an unprecedented automotive facility at Universite’ Mohammed I Oujda/Ecole Superieure de Technologie (EST) in Morocco with partners around the nation and is now working with Moroccan agencies to expand the energy sector and model Career and Technical Education generally.
After an initial 6-month planning grant to support the creation of a long-term partnership to strengthen the capacity of Broader Middle East and North Africa (BMENA) partner institutions through the promotion of entrepreneurship, Gateway and its partners moved ahead on a $450,000 grant project.
