The General Manager of INJAZ Palestine Foundation, Mrs. Rania Kutteneh expressed her appreciation for the sponsorship of the National Beverage Company Coca-Cola/Cappy, for the Young Entrepreneurs’ Ceremony for the fourteenth year in a row, especially with the establishment of many student companies, which this year reached twenty teams and trained them for about a year.
Mrs. Kutteneh indicated that Injaz Palestine Foundation is working to provide the necessary support and training to qualify Palestinian youth and prepare them to enter the labor market, and to bridge the gap between the knowledge they acquired in school and the principles of establishing start-ups and entrepreneurs. She added that research studies have proven that the educational qualifications of the majority of Palestinian youth do not comply with the requirements of the labor market, so INJAZ Palestine Foundation works with all its partners in the educational and private sectors to increase the practical potential of young people.
The General Manager also stressed the importance of implementing the student company program annually, and indicated that the participation of all the governorates of the country is a real achievement and an imprint in the pioneering path of Injaz Palestine Foundation.
The National Beverage Company Coca-Cola/Cappy endeavors to provide support and sponsor projects related to youth as part of its consistent policy over the years in supporting the community and enhancing the presence of youth energies in the community.
