  • 40 CHURCHES in 7 DAYS 7 DAY TOUR ITINERARY* DAY 1 Meeting
    40 CHURCHES IN 7 DAYS 7 DAY TOUR ITINERARY* DAY 1 Meeting at the airport, transfer to the hotel and check-in. The first steps of your Pilgrimage will start from Katoghike Holy Mother of God and Zoravor Surb Astvatsatsin Churches, both dating back to the XIII century, situated in the centre of Yerevan. To get acquainted with the capital of Armenia, we will have a City Tour in Yerevan - one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and the only one, that has a "Birth Certificate" - a cuneiform inscription, left by King Argishti I on a basalt stone slab about the foundation of the city in 782 BC, displayed at the Erebuni Fortress-Museum. Yerevan is often pegged as the "Pink City" because of the colour of the stones used to build much of the city centre. Another name of Yerevan is an "Open-air Museum", the reason of which you will understand upon your visit. We will start the City tour from visiting Cascade Monument which is about 450 meters high and 50 meters wide. A panoramic view from the top of Cascade opens up a breathtaking city view with Opera House, Mount Ararat, Swan Lake, Republic Square and posh Northern Avenue, along which you will walk down during the tour. We will also visit Matenadaran, which means a "book-depository" in old Armenian. Indeed, Matenadaran is the pride of Armenian culture, the world's largest storage of ancient manuscripts. In fact, it is a scientific research institute of ancient manuscripts which stores more than 17 thousand ancient manuscripts and more than 100 thousand ancient archival documents.

Abstract Because finding a job in the apparel and textile sector can be a challenging task for the graduates of the apparel and textile programs in Armenia, the focus of this study is to find the attributes of successful small apparel businesses in Armenia and to identify the knowledge and skills graduates need to secure a job, to succeed at it, and potentially open their own small apparel business. Specifically, the purpose of this study is to: 1) identifying the factors leading to the success of small apparel businesses in Armenia; 2) learn what obstacles hinder the success of small apparel businesses in Armenia; 3) gain understanding of how the small apparel businesses in Armenia address the needs and wants of their customers; and 4) establish what type of professional development would contribute to the success of the small businesses. The study also: 1) explores what knowledge and skills successful apparel businesses in Armenia are looking for in new employees; and 2) provides recommendations for curriculum changes at Armenian apparel and textile programs which would help the graduates of Apparel and Textile programs in finding a job in the apparel and textile industry or in starting their own businesses.
