At our Center learning takes place as partners and beneficiaries engage in projects being implemented by CCE for their benefits. The underlying principle here is working with the beneficiaries in designing and implementing their projects – not doing it for them. CCE mentors and technical experts provide limited training or orientation (where needed), for example, working with the partners on the design of their intervention, giving them assignments, and coaching them as they develop the solutions for their own community or business.
Our Business Services are provided to all types of established businesses as well as to non-governmental organizations. We serve owners of existing companies – of any size, operating in any industry, registered or unregistered, and located anywhere in Palestine (including East Jerusalem). We use a holistic approach combining training with individual face-to-face mentoring. In the provision of the mentorship services, CCE relies on its in-house team of business experts in addition to mentors trained in the “Mentoring of SMEs” professional diploma conducted by CCE in 2010. Our team comprises 15 highly qualified and experienced mentors.
In the past CCE has served micro and small enterprises operating in a wide range of local industries including agriculture, stones & marble, production of packaging materials, food production, educational games production, textile, plastic production, craft industries, construction materials production, ICT, water bottling, heating and cooling systems production and installation, etc. In the past few years only, we have served more than 200 enterprises.
