Recently, the Anoushavan Abrahamian Education Fund (AAEF) initiated the project of establishment of new engineering laboratories. These laboratories will be set up in each school sponsored by the AAEF. Within the framework of this project the AAEF cooperates with the Union of Information Technology Enterprises (UITE). The UITE will furnish the laboratories and give permanent technical support with the financial support of AAEF. During the first phase of the project engineering labs will be established in Maralik, Shirak Marz and Armavir, Armavir Marz. The Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Armenia will assist in providing the laboratories with qualified teachers.

Through this project the students will study computer programming, 3-D printing and robotics design, development and management. The knowledge and skills gained in these areas are in high demand in Armenia. The new project will also enable the rural youth to increase their participation in the development of vocational professions.

The AAEF has more than 10 years of history. It was founded by Anoushavan and Ofik Abrahamians, in Los Angeles and aims to support rural youth in gaining vocational skills and professions for successful employment opportunities in their towns and villages.

In this regard, during the past 10 years an education complex in each of 10 marzes of Armenia has been fully or partially reconstructed. Six vocational training classrooms were opened in each school enhancing the development of vocational training in Armenian marzes.
