GGateway Social Model

GGateway social mission aims to reduce high unemployment rate among IT graduates in Gaza by mobilizing donors’ fund and business revenue to establish a learning workplace to integrate Gaza ICT graduates into ICT market. Graduates leave the enterprise after approximately 12 months of training and work experience as qualified Project Associates with employable CVs. On the long run, the core business skills of GGateway – contract and project management – are planned to be transferred to IT sector firms in the form of commercial training and, eventually, subcontracts. Firms taking on those subcontracts will find a qualified and ready project team in the GGateway’s Project Associates.
