Establishing A Technical And Vocational Training Center For Underprivileged Urban Women In Hebron City

The main objective of the Project is to establish a Technical and Vocational Training Center (TVTC) in Hebron Governorate of the West Bank/oPts to help in empowering underprivileged women and their families to improve their economic conditions and living standards through the provision of vocational and urban entrepreneurship development and economic training programs and initiatives. The Project will also contribute to capacity building of women's skill development institutions in the oPts.

The TVTC will target women recognized as hardship cases in the city of Hebron. Those women are considered the poorest not only because they do not have any source of income, but also because they are socially marginalized as divorced and widows head of households. The TVTC aims at empowering those women to earn income and to reduce their poverty through providing them with appropriate technical and vocational training skills; and urban entrepreneurship development training needed to develop and manage their own small-scale projects and cooperatives.
