Training Coordinator

CONTEXT   IECD (Institut Européen de Coopération et de Développement) is a French non-governmental organization founded in 1988 and operating in the field of social and economic development in partnership with local institutions. IECD’s main sectors of action are vocational training and professional integration, assistance to micro and small enterprises and access to education and health for the most vulnerable. In Lebanon, IECD has been operating in the country since 1994 and opened a regional office in Beirut in 2007. Semeurs d’Avenir (SDA) is a Lebanese association, created in 2010, registered under the number 1905. It is the operational partner of IECD in vocational and professional training. The short trainings intervention aims to bring professional skills to young Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian refugees through short-term (2 to 4 months) vocational training programs targeting jobs with higher employment opportunities on the local labour market: construction apprenticeship, maintenance, medical care assistance and esthetic. These training programs are combined with a personal development component, which includes community activities and the general improvement of personal skills. This will help them to integrate into society and thus contribute to lowering community tensions by promoting the coexistence of different populations.   IECD and its partner SDA plan to further develop its activities in Lebanon in new regions.
