( 1st June, 2012 – 30 May, 2014)

The project is about developing of the traditional woods' industry to achieve the modern carpentry HVTV in terms of : bedrooms, kitchens, decoration and wood carving and panting to increase the labor market with qualified workers in order to meet the market's needs by the second level for those who have weak chance in getting jobs.

The project idea comes throughout noting various reasons which lead to this result such as; old equipments since 1968 and curriculums' poorness which depend only on the trainer and that, in turn, leave a negative impact in the labor market and its needs; in addition to the lack of trainer's skills because of absence of incentives, employment policies and inferior perception toward vocational work.

The project target males and females as well (20 males \ 10 females) annually, in addition to a staff from the local market and carpentry workshops. It is worth mentioning that there are more than 300 carpentry workshops registered and licensed in the Hebron chamber of commerce and industry.

The previous mentioned reasons led to an incoherent and unproductive society throughout increasing rate of unemployment and violence; as they also led to create a weak chance for development and contribution in the society.

This project comes to transfer the graduates' qualifications to meet with the local market's needs and reduce the gap between the vocational training's outputs and the labor market's needs.

One of the expected results of this project is concluding with a successful project's management, effective training curriculums and workshops in order to re- qualify and train specialists and qualified; in addition to organize outreach and counseling campaigns to do common trainings with industrial sectors in order to come up with qualified males and females for the modern carpentry and increase jobs.
