Project Summary

REACH aims to enhance cross border working opportunities for undergraduates in Palestine, starting by studying EU partner experience in creating jobs and then adapting these to local needs, as assessed by experts from EU in cooperation with PS partners. At the end of the first year, during the 2nd year, and in light of the specified benchmarks and needs identified in the first year, 16 field training materials will be developed (in print and using e-training and multimedia) to build prioritized capacities of human resources (26 selected managers and trainer specialists) and the infrastructure of Palestinian university careers centres. Upon completing training, the Palestinian trainees will offer cascade training to transfer the skills and competences gained to 300 selected graduates (highly motivated, and with good language skills). Infrastructures (5 cross-border Palestinian units: 4 in the West Bank and 1 in Gaza) will be established and developed, permitting a regional and international network able to support future cross border job opportunities for generations of Palestinian graduates. Feedback will be obtained from the graduates. REACH results and success stories in getting cross border jobs will be documented and distributed to other PHEIs and published internationally in two scholarly papers.
