As a key partner in the two ENI CBC MED projects: YEP MED and INTERNISA, the Chamber of Beirut & Mount Lebanon makes every effort to create interactions and combine efforts between the analogous activities of these two projects , particularly in light of the fact that both projects fall under the same thematic priority of fighting poverty and fostering social inclusion. In this framework, the Chamber convened the YEP MED Lebanese female trainees who enrolled in the international port logistics training programme in Beirut and now hold YEP MED certificates, and encouraged them to take advantage of the job matching features of the digital platform developed by INTERNISA project. This initiative contributes to the optimization of the dual apprenticeship programme proposed by the YEP MED project to help young graduates reach wider job opportunities and to be placed as contractual or interns in logistic companies.

The YEP MED Lebanese graduates will also be familiarized with the services of  the recently opened INTERNISA Women Digital Centre at the Chamber headquarters. Through this Centre,  young female job seekers could benefit from career advisory services pertaining to interview skills, how to build resumes, digital skills, etc.  In this regard, the INTERNISA Digital Center will help prepare YEP MED graduates with soft and digital skills through the offered workshops within the objective to train them in the best way to present themselves to recruiters.

This activity has just started in the Chamber premises and will continue till the end of the two projects in the spring of 2023.
