It combines theory and practice to develop the professional level of the Palestinian youth and bridge the gap between the academic educational outcomes and the demands of the Palestinian labor market. The program offers students a unique opportunity to simultaneously study and acquire practical experience at specialized Palestinian companies throughout their undergraduate studies.
