It officially established the ITA's Committee for Education and Training (ITA-CET)  in 2007 in order to promote education and training throughout the tunnelling and underground space association and assist its coordination.</p> <p>The Committee works in close collaboration with the <a href="https://www.itacet.org/">ITACET Foundation</a>, created in 2009 in order to facilitate funding and organisational aspects of  training and education actions. </p> <p>The importance of knowledge sharing through education and training has been reaffirmed over the years in the ITA's Strategic Plans and remains a priority. A certain number of actions have been identified by ITA  in relation to this goal:</p> <ul> <li>Support Member Nations through the organization of training sessions and workshops.</li> <li>Develop a training offer for professionals and industry.</li> <li>Implement e-learning / webinars.</li> <li>Create and develop a university network as well as a regional correspondents network.</li> <li>Involve Working Groups and Committees in the preparation of didactic documents and ITA-CET courses, based on their publications.</li> <li>Organize specific training sessions on the use of underground space in developing countries.</li> </ul> <p>The ITA-CET Committee's four activity groups will focus on these actions.</p> <p>Click on the link below to read the ITA-CET flyer which presents our activities in more detail</p> <p><a href="/files/FlyerITACET9.pdf" id="" style="" target="" title="ITA-CET flyer">ITA-CET flyer.pdf</a></p> </div> </div>  </main> </div> <div class="moduletable login clearfix"> <form action="https://about.ita-aites.org/wg-committees/ita-cet" method="post" id="login-form" class="form-inline"> <div class="userdata"> <div id="form-login-username" class="control-group"> <div class="controls"> <div class="input-prepend"> <input id="modlgn-username" type="text" name="username" class="input-small" tabindex="0" size="18" placeholder="Username" /> </div> </div> </div> <div id="form-login-password" class="control-group"> <div class="controls"> <div class="input-prepend"> <input id="modlgn-passwd" type="password" name="password" class="input-small" tabindex="0" size="18" placeholder="Password" /> </div> </div> </div> <div id="form-login-remember" class="control-group checkbox"> <label for="modlgn-remember" class="control-label">Remember Me</label> <input id="modlgn-remember" type="checkbox" name="remember" class="inputbox" value="yes"/> </div> <div id="form-login-submit" class="control-group"> <div class="controls"> <button type="submit" tabindex="0" name="Submit" class="btn btn-primary login-button">Log in</button> </div> </div> <ul class="unstyled"> <li> <a href="/username-reminder"> Forgot your username?</a> </li> <li> <a href="/password-reset"> Forgot your password?</a> </li> </ul> <input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_users" /> <input type="hidden" name="task" value="user.login" /> <input type="hidden" name="return" value="aHR0cHM6Ly9hYm91dC5pdGEtYWl0ZXMub3JnL3dnLWNvbW1pdHRlZXMvaXRhLWNldA==" /> <input type="hidden" name="e145cb59956eb6138b2652af4b18f177" value="1" /> </div> </form> </div>  <script src="https://www.ita-aites.org/Common/sponsors.js?1732993937"></script> </div> </div>  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://www.ita-aites.org/Common/footer.css?1732993937" type="text/css" /> <script src="https://www.ita-aites.org/Common/footer.js?1732993937"></script> <div class="cadre_alert_cookies" id="cadre_alert_cookies" style="opacity:0.9;text-align:center;position:fixed;z-index:10000;left: 0;right: 0;bottom: 0; margin:0px;"><div class="cadre_inner_alert_cookies" style="display: inline-block;width: 100%;margin:auto;max-width:100%;background-color: #e8e8e8;border: 1px solid #cccccc;"><div class="cadre_inner_texte_alert_cookies" style="display: inline-block;padding:10px;color: #333333"><div class="cadre_texte "><p> We use cookies on this site to enhance your user experience.<br /> By clicking any link on this page you are giving your consent for us to set cookies.</p> </div><div class="cadre_bouton "><div class=" col-md-6 col-sm-6 btn_readmore" style="margin:0;text-align:center"><a style="color:#eeeeee" class="btn btn-inverse read_more" href="/disclaimer#cookies">No, I want more information about cookies</a></div><div class=" col-md-6 col-sm-6 btn_close" style="margin:0;text-align:center"><button onclick="CloseCadreAlertCookie();" style="color:#eeeeee" class="btn btn-warning popup-modal-dismiss">Yes, I agree</button></div></div></div></div></div><script type="text/javascript">/*<![CDATA[*/var name = "fmalertcookies" + "=";var ca = document.cookie.split(";");var acceptCookie = false;for(var i=0; i<ca.length; i++) {var c = ca[i];while (c.charAt(0)==" ") c = c.substring(1);if (c.indexOf(name) == 0){ acceptCookie = true; document.getElementById("cadre_alert_cookies").style.display="none";}}if(!acceptCookie) { ;for(var i=0; i<ca.length; i++) {var c1 = ca[i];document.cookie= c1+'; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT; path=/';}}var d = new Date();d.setTime(d.getTime() + (30*(24*60*60*1000)));var expires_cookie = "expires="+d.toUTCString();function CloseCadreAlertCookie(){document.getElementById('cadre_alert_cookies').style.display='none'; document.cookie='fmalertcookies=true; '+expires_cookie+'; path=/';}/*]]>*/</script></body> </html>
