The center offered diverse vocational courses such as sewing, smartphone repair, computer basics, English language, men’s hairdressing, and electrical installations. Additionally, several awareness sessions were conducted for the local community on health, social, educational, and child protection topics in Msirik area of Semel District and Dohuk Governorate.

The project was executed in three phases between 2022 and 2023. The activities included conducting a needs assessment survey in Semel, providing vocational courses for men, women, youth, and girls, and organizing general and health awareness sessions.

The project targeted men and women from three categories, which are the host community, Iraqi internally displaced persons, and Syrian refugees.
