Initiated on September 11, 2022, the "Training for Employment" project represents a pivotal shift in the Center's approach, focusing on empowering students to showcase their skills and competence during practical training sessions. This proactive engagement not only enriches students' learning experiences but also positions them favorably for potential employment avenues within the partnering institutions and companies.
Mr. Imad Al-Qassim, Director of the Training Center at An-Najah University, remarked that the project's resounding success owes much to the collaboration with 39 diverse companies and institutions hailing from various business sectors. The project thrives on ongoing interaction with these partners, continually identifying opportunities and vacancies suitable for students' skill sets. This fruitful rapport is bolstered by the Center's robust network of alumni, many of whom currently hold key positions within these organizations.

These faculties encompass Engineering and Information Technology, Economics and Social Sciences, Fine Arts, Sciences, Medicine and Health Sciences, Shari'ah, Agriculture, and Veterinary Medicine.
