2019 Победитель | Social entrepreneur | Palestinian

We have a high rate of unemployment in the Arab region. One of the main problems that graduates face is lack of experience. Most companies require more than five year of experience, so we aim to help students achieve this experience before the graduation. We encourage university students to develop their own skills and integrate them as a productive group in the community. Our Cerati initiative is a mobile app and website that provides college students and graduates with access to part time jobs and tasks, providing a linkage between college students and employers. Through our Cerati platform, our goal is to narrow the gap between the green labour market and the students and encourage them to obtain part-time job opportunities. We match and develop students’ skills and experiences with ideal and available job vacancies. We provide information about various training opportunities, workshops, internships, competitions, events, exhibitions and inspiration. Our aim is to integrate university students with the external labour market and develop their skills to earn supporting income.

I studied Business Administration with a focus on Human Resources at Birzeit University. I’m the Founder of Cerati and first place winner in the Arab Innovation Academy. I’m also a Youth Women advocate with UNFPA and a representative of the Palestinian youth in a number of programs and committees. I have a strong interest in green entrepreneurship and a passion for youth leadership.
