A third meeting with key stakeholders took place in Gaza to finalize the main pillars of the WBL strategy.

BTC is working, through the Enhancing Capacities for institution building (ECIB) project, on a national WBL strategy that will be finalized by the end of this year. The work is implemented by OPTIMUM consultancy firm which is working closely with 2 thematic working groups in West Bank and Gaza Strip.

TVET institutions and representatives from the TVET departments at the MoE, the MoL and the LET council in Gaza were present to work together with the private sector on this first step to nationalize WBL and to integrate it within the TVET system.
