About the Project

Empowering Al-Quds Graduates: Freelancing for Sustainable Livelihoods and Income Opportunities

"Empowering Al-Quds Graduates" is more than just a training program. It’s a lifeline for young people in a city full of challenges but rich in potential. Led by BCITE at Al-Quds University, this initiative opens real, meaningful doors to the world of freelancing and digital entrepreneurship.

  • Practical training in digital marketing, e-commerce, video editing, and branding
  • Step-by-step guidance on how to start and grow a freelancing business
  • A place to shine on the Qudslancer platform, where they can showcase their work to the world
  • Personal mentorship from industry professionals who have real-world experience
  • Opportunities to connect with clients, companies, and local organizations

By the end of the program, participants will not only have new skills, but also a strong portfolio, a clear plan, and the confidence to earn income, attract clients, and build a sustainable career.

At its core, this project is about empowerment. It helps young people in Al-Quds turn their skills into opportunity and their ambition into a successful future.

Why Join?

Youth graduates, especially women, face high unemployment rates despite their high educational attainment. With limited local job opportunities and barriers to accessing traditional markets, freelancing offers a powerful alternative to create sustainable, independent income streams.

Through this project, you will:

  • Gain technical skills in high-demand fields like digital marketing, e-commerce, video editing, and branding.
  • Learn how to launch your own freelancing business and manage real-world projects.
  • Get certified and showcase your skills on Qudslancer, our freelancing platform.
  • Receive one-on-one mentorship from professionals.
  • Connect with other freelancers, entrepreneurs, and potential clients through networking events.

What Will You Learn?

Over the course of this hands-on program, you will receive specialized training in one of the following tracks:

E-Commerce & Digital Marketing

60 hours of expert-led training to master selling online, SEO, advertising, and digital campaign strategies.

Video Editing & Content Creation

Learn professional video editing, storytelling, and how to create engaging multimedia content.

Branding & Graphic Design
