One of the major goals of the NRC is to develop scientific and technological capabilities at the national and regional levels to face the challenges enforced as a result of rapid development in the various scientific fields. To serve this goal, the Training and Capabilities Development Unit (TCD) was established in 1985 to develop human resources through scientific yearly training plans with continuous updating and upgrading. These plans include:
Training for people from inside as well as outside the NRC.
Organizing administrative training courses at the centre for management and administration according to the job requirements of the different sectors of the NRC.
TCD activity also extends its services to external authorities in Egypt, Arab Countries and commonwealth countries to qualify candidates for the appropriate development programs.
The NRC collaborates with Egyptian universities to provide summer courses for university students.
TCD participates in the national program for training of graduate students.
Leadership Development Programs:
Training courses involving work methodologies, self control and decision making.
Teaching the descriptive skills from the technical, human, administrative and planning points of view and drawing strategies and the ability to cope with crises.
This program is implemented in two stages: First phase:
Includes introductory training for knowledge development through acquired information on the performance methods of the different administrative offices of the NRC.
Second phase:
Includes leadership skill development through advanced training programs.
