Education For Employment, an Office of Palestinian Affairs (OPA) grantee, brought the Scale Up & Thrive project to life! Five Palestinian participants from Gaza, Jerusalem, and the West Bank were chosen out of 40 participants for this U.S. trip, which included daily coaching and mentorship sessions, networking with other American and Arab-American entrepreneurs, and cultural activities. Participants shared insights on their personal and professional journeys with EFE and worked with lead trainers to improve their pitches for investment and business plans.
