Practical Training Options for BLDG Students

In addition to curricular knowledge that you acquire in the university, a successful engineer should have been exposed to practical aspects of his career. At iHub ( in collaboration with the administration of the university), we have devised several training options to suit different levels and are spaced (as much as possible) throughout the summer.
