Through the national accredited programme, the students could choose one of 16 modules, such as cooking, sewing and computer training, in addition to take part in seminars about intercultural communication, work searching skills and labour and social rights.
The programme is funded by GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit) with the aim to strengthen the national capacities of the education system and give Syrian refugees and their host communities a chance to acquire new skills and better work opportunities.
The students also received conditional cash grants from NRC during the project, to help them meet their basic needs.
In January 2017, the graduates earned a certificate authorized by Turkey’s Ministry of National Education. Representative from GIZ and various local authorities including Ministry of National Education, AFAD, Ministry of Labor, ISKUR and local NGOs were present at the graduation and joined our more 1,000 students in celebrating their success.
