To endorse the work-based learning (WBL) approach in the Gaza Strip, Enabel conducted a workshop for the private sector, in partnership with the LET council of Gaza and in the presence of the Ministry of Labor (MoL) and the Ministry of Education (MoE).

The workshop targeted 6 industrial unions in Gaza: the Palestinian Food Industries Union, the Wood Industries Union, the Federation of Renewable Energy Industries, the Union of Palestinian Textile Industries, the Metal and Engineering Industries Union and the Palestinian Aluminum Industries Union, that are looking for skilled workers.

A social dialogue took place and the two parties agreed on how to adopt WBL.

The workshop resulted in:

1. Field visits to TVET institutions
2. Formulation of strategic memorandums of understanding (MoUs) to train students
3. Signing MoUs in TVET week 

This first step is followed by a series of workshops targeting other promising economic sectors in Gaza Strip
