Education is a weapon

Vocational training, also known as Vocational Education and Training (VET) and Career and Technical Education (CTE), provides job-specific technical training for work. The program generally focuses on providing mostly youth with hands-on instructions and can lead to certification, a diploma or certificate. Vocational training at Makhzoumi Foundation is organized very systematically on the basis of vocational groups. A vocational group includes trainees whose work activities are based on similar technical skills and who need related expertise in order to perform their job. Our mission is to provide our trainees with educational, technical and vocational skills. It fulfils two of Makhzoumi Foundation’s goals including encouraging the seeking of knowledge and promoting self-reliance. Our courses are administered in Beirut, Aramoun, Tripoli, Baalbek and Saida, and are tailored to cater for the essentials of the labor market.

    The Unemployed Nurse’s Hope
    An educated lady wasn’t able to find a job in the nursing field, she registered in beauty specialty and found a job in a beauty Clinic and an opportunity for an income generating source.

    Ahmad: The Textile Shop
    Ahmad, a man with 4 siblings, 1 brother and 3 sisters, from a modest family financially. He was working in Syria in the textile business.
    Through the apprenticeship program we allocated Ahmad with Hassan Assaf in 04-06-2016 as a full time employee due to his trustworthy, integrity, honesty, hardworking and high experience. Assaf always thanked us for the great opportunity to know such employee who knows and can handle things responsibly. This employer always thanks us for introducing him to Ahmad.

    Challenge and Hope: Story of a girl
    We had a touching story, with a girl who had special needs, she was illiterate, from low socio-economic level and wasn’t able to interact with people, she used a hearing machine, and barely anyone could understand her words, she had psychic problem because of her case and refused to see or talk to anyone.
    She heard about the apprentices program with MF, and wanted to challenge herself, she approached us and our apprentices’ officer guided her to a way she can benefit from and defeat her fear of people. We put her in the field in to gain a skill, at a beauty Salon, she learnt to epilate and do some eyebrows and some facial beauty treatments, now she earns a salary because of her good skills as quick learner employee from the owner and from the apprentices program.
    A giant leap in the foundation history is to have five ladies in the Cell Repair class which spots the lights on the women’s passion toward specialties people used to think it’s only a man’s thing.
