Vocational education and training should adequately meet the needs of the citizen, the labor market and society in order to ensure economic and social development. Welfare Association has been actively supporting the development of the infrastructure of vocational training centers.

Through the emergency assistance program, Welfare Association has supported the rehabilitation of the YMCA vocational training center in Jericho. The project included installing new electrical and water infrastructure networks, adapting the center for access by the disabled, and introducing new training equipment.

The East Jerusalem YMCA vocational training center in Jericho aims to empower men and women through providing them with educational, cultural, and training opportunities in order to develop their skills and personalities and to be able to support themselves and their families, and to be active in their communities. Implementing the women's vocational training program has an especially important impact on the society and encourages society to accept the idea of women in non-conventional vocations.
