Advancing the Heritage of Armenians in Jewellery
PILOT CLASS GEMOLOGY STUDENTS RECEIVE CERTIFICATES
On January 27, 2016 Syrian Armenian students who successfully graduated from the Gemology 1 and Diamond Grading Laboratory courses at the École de gemmologie de Montréal received their ‘Attestation’ certificates.
AJF provided further grants to 7 of the graduates to continue their studies toward a full Diploma in Gemology.
“We are extremely lucky to have this opportunity to learn at such a reputable Canadian institution, which is giving us top knowledge and expertise. I am confident this will help all of us integrate and improve our employment prospects. Thanks to AJF I was recently offered a new job and re-launched my career as a jeweller in Canada,” said student Viken Apkarian.
