Commendation for Pasargad Energy Group's Role in Curbing Brain Drain
Dr. Rahmat Sotoodeh, head of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Tehran, emphasized the importance of retaining human capital and talented individuals during the seminar. He stated, "Third-world countries often pay more attention to hard assets, neglecting their soft assets. In today's world, there is intense competition to attract talents, with even countries like the United States making significant efforts to maintain their positions in this regard."
He further noted, "UNESCO studies show that the financial cost of losing each talented individual ranges from 8 to 10 million euros, encompassing education expenses, lost opportunities, and the impacts on their families. The valuable initiatives taken by Pasargad Energy Group, such as providing internship programs and operational visits, offer pivotal opportunities for students to enhance their skills and knowledge alongside industry professionals and utilize their capacities within the country."
Dr. Sotoodeh expressed appreciation for these efforts, asserting, "Programs from the Pasargad Energy Group, including internship schemes and specialized seminars, exemplify attempts to prevent brain drain and establish effective connections between academia and industry. I hope other companies will follow this trend."
