What is the Young Experts Consultancy?
The YEC is a professionalizing exercise that is part of our training at ISTOM, an international agronomy engineering school.
The aim: Identify, design and achieve expertise for a professional sponsor (public, private, association, NGO, etc.) working in the field of agricultural and rural development in the South.
The YEC is monitored and supervised throughout by a multidisciplinary educational ISTOM team of tutors until the deliverables are rendered.
