Employment Generation Program - EGP
Palestine
Trade Center - Paltrade in cooperation with the Palestinian Enterprise
Development (PED) project funded by the United States Agency for
International Development (USAID) and implemented by Development
Alternatives, Inc. (DAI), are seeking to train recent university
graduates under PED’s apprenticeship program. 80 graduates will be
selected and trained, and 66 of them will be placed in local Palestinian
companies.
The
Employment Generation Program - EGP aims at providing learning and
employment opportunities to the unemployed graduates while supporting
private sector companies and institutions through the infusion of fresh
talents and skills in the much-needed area of marketing and sales. The
program will subsidize the apprenticeship of qualified unemployed
graduates, and additionally provide the apprentices with training and
certification in the specialized field of marketing and sales. The
program will focus on creating
employment
opportunities
in marketing and sales as this field has been identified as crucial to
SME survival and growth and yet in short supply in the local market.
The program
aims to create short-term learning and sustainable job opportunities to
the unemployed graduates that will develop into long-term job
opportunities in the host enterprise. In addition to the on-the-job
experience, the certification component of the program will enhance the
performance of the apprentices while transferring knowledge in the
specified fields within the host enterprises.
Program
goals:
1.
Provide long-term employment opportunities for unemployed graduates.

Upgrade the skills and capacities of the apprentices according to job
market requirements for these fields
3.
Infuse qualified human resource from unemployed university graduates
within the Palestinian private sector, particularly in the areas of
