QC’s ‘Taqat’ initiative trains, hires over 50,000 youths in Palestine
Qatar Charity (QC) has trained and hired more than 50,000 youths, both male and female, in Palestine through its ‘Taqat’ initiative, which is one of the world’s “unique humanitarian initiatives”.
This initiative comes as part of Qatar Charity’s continued efforts aimed at economically and socially empowering youths in Palestine. It aims to provide opportunities for creative Palestinian youths to work remotely for Qatari and international companies, QC has said in a statement.
The initiative will contribute to reducing the unemployment rate, improving the economic situation of Palestinian families and strengthening the role of creative youths, in addition to providing employment services at the same time. Companies, through this initiative, can hire entire teams to run their businesses with lower costs and higher quality.
The initiative is expected to see the hiring of hundreds of graduates and skilled and talented persons for content-writing, graphic designing, video production, motion graphics, translation and accounting, in addition to other tasks.
This initiative is an opportunity for poverty and unemployment-stricken youths, especially in view of the problematic economic conditions in Palestinians, particularly in the Gaza Strip, the statement notes.
This initiative is part of the ‘Palestine Relief’ campaign launched by Qatar Charity a few weeks ago to support Palestinian families in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
The number of Palestinian higher education graduates is 40,000 annually, according to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics. Most of them are unemployed due to limited opportunities, the statement adds.
