The training spanned 90 days, including 40 days of theoretical vocational training in each specialization, followed by 5 days of entrepreneurship training, and 45 days of practical application within institutions and workshops, allowing trainees to gain direct hands-on experience.

Additionally, specialized tools were provided to each trainee according to their field, enhancing their learning and preparing them to start their own projects after completing the program.

Overall, the activity aimed to equip trainees with the skills and knowledge needed to start or grow small-scale businesses, thereby fostering self-reliance and strengthening the economic resilience of families and local communities.
