East Jerusalem YMCA - Women Training Program

The Women's Training Program (WTP) was initiated in April 1993 to improve the socio-economic status and involvement of women in Palestinian society, through strengthening their decision-making capabilities and economic productivity both inside and outside their homes. The WTP activities include career counseling in schools and youth centers, assessment of personal capabilities, training of career counselors, intensive training in the targeted rural areas, short-term training courses in non-conventional fields like curtains, bed covers and cushions production, loans and community based development models.
