This partnership established a training program in environmental technology in Uzbekistan in response to new environmental regulations. By offering distance education courses for faculty and students from Tashkent State University (TSU) and by expanding the existing curriculum, the partners addressed the need for a technically trained workforce to deal with environmental issues. Faculty and students received training in hazardous materials handling at the Kent State University, Trumbull Campus and participated in site visits. The partners created a web-based course at both institutions that allowed students to enroll in courses on industrial and environmental safety at Kent State through TSU. They also established an environmental technology laboratory at TSU to support environmental technology training.
