CNN Highlights West Bank Training and Job Placement Program
20 August 2008
CNN traveled to the West Bank to film the students of the Education for Employment Foundation's newly launched Construction Management Training and Job-Placement Program, which teaches unemployed Palestinian engineering graduates new, transferable skills and places them in guaranteed jobs. With unemployment in the West Bank at a staggering 25 percent, many university graduates are unable to find work, fueling frustration and despair among young people in a region with the highest youth jobless rate in the world.
The feature aired on CNN Headline News on Saturday and Sunday August 16th and 17th at 4:00 PM EST.
