The Sewerage Board of Limassol Amathus (SBLA) has been an active
employer and Board Member of IAESTE Cyprus since 2011. To date, the
SBLA has hosted ten trainees in the fields of civil engineering, environmental
engineering, and mechanical engineering.
The main task of the SBLA is the construction, operation and maintenance
of the public sewerage and stormwater drainage system of Limassol and
to improve the hygienic and environmental conditions and the quality of
life in the area. The implementation and operation of the system has and
is still contributing substantially in the economic activity of Limassol, the host
city of the 72nd IAESTE Annual Conference in 2019.
Seven years ago our organisation was asked to serve IAESTE Cyprus as
a Founding Member of their Board. Realising the importance that IAESTE
places as a source for global talent, our organisation proudly joined the
IAESTE family. We take pride in being involved in an organisation which
serves the growing needs of local, national and international employers by
helping students succeed in the global marketplace by affording them with
opportunities to develop the skills, knowledge, and attitudes that will allow
them to navigate in work environments that contend with globalisation,
outsourcing, and emerging technologies. Our organisation has benefited
the programme by hosting 10 trainees in a wide variety of engineering
fields including civil engineering, environmental engineering, mechanical
energy engineering and mechanical engineering.
As an active and loyal Board Member of IAESTE Cyprus, our organisation
is also a member of the Annual Conference Sub-committee Board and
looks forward to warmly welcoming you to Cyprus in January 2019.
