The Middle East Council of Churches (MECC) in Jordan announces the beginning of new vocational training courses that aims at empowering vulnerable young men and women in order to create job opportunities for both from the neediest communities of refugees and locals.
By bringing together individuals from diverse backgrounds, MECC aims to showcase the power of unity and collaboration in the communities. These courses have been specifically designed to provide opportunities for young women and men, by learning and working.
In the vocational courses implemented by MECC, the team equips the participants with valuable skills which have the potential to make profound behavioral changes, investing in the potential of our participants to be leaders of positive change that can contribute to the well-being of their families and communities.
In the MECC commitment to address the unemployment rate, the Council have initiated two essential courses:
Sewing Course: This course is designed to empower women, and it has already begun with the participation of 20 women Syrian, Iraqi refugees, and neediest Jordanian. The art of sewing not only provides valuable skills but also opens doors to entrepreneurial opportunities.
Elderly Care Course: This course is open to both men and women of Syrian, Iraqi, and neediest Jordanian. In a region with diverse needs, this course equips participants with the skills and compassion required for elderly care, addressing a growing demand in Jordan to serve the elderly with dignity.
The two courses are supported under the ACT JOR 231 Appeal,2023.
