Some 840 Palestinian refugee students have started their academic year at the UNRWA-run Damascus Training Centre (DTC).
Students attend semi-professional on-site courses three days per week and study remotely for the rest of the week due to coronavirus concerns.
UNRWA has been able to provide vocational training opportunities for hundreds of Palestine refugees in Syria. Vocational training has proven to be a vital lifeline in a region deeply affected by the conflict in Syria, which in 2020 has entered its ninth year.
UNRWA also said that its vocational centers play an active role in ensuring that their graduates find employment once they graduate. One of the most successful ways to ensure this is to offer on-the job training.
Vocational training courses include mechatronics, air-conditioning (AC) maintenance, sewing, computer maintenance, plumbing, and car electricity, along with medical, information, and engineering specialties.
