Digital Marketing
30 young women and men from the West Bank completed 85 hours of digital marketing training, with 14 participants placed in internships across technology, insurance, education, and accounting sectors. Two interns received extensions.
Graphic Design
30 young women and men graduated from the graphic design program, with 17 participants securing internships in graphic design, engineering, and financing sectors.
