Seeding knowledge-based-industries-2

This study is basically based on the way of selecting industries and professions that were the bases for developing training programs.

We have selected the industries that need to be developed based on certain standards. The referred to standards will be built based on the expected demand pon graduates and the nature of the profession.

The selected professions were subject to test. We have checked if they meet certain standards that we will develop during this research.

These standards helped us choose the final specializations that fit our research from the market point of view and other points of views.

Literature Review

Individual Interviews Individual Interviews Interviews aimed to study the status of the sectors and have an idea about the nature of the working associations there, human resources, training programs, and building the capacity that refers these sectors to human resources.

Group InterviewsThese interviews mainly aimed to assure that the results of the study y yconducted at the previous stages were correct. They determined some training types that we must adopt and be more involved in training programs details as requirements, the expected needs to start applying theseprograms details as requirements, the expected needs to start applying these programs and the trainers’ favorite background.

The first option: establishing a representative office of the company. This might be applied in different ways.

Second potential: hiring individuals by companies, institutes, or schools, through making use of the low cost and the direct relationship between the Palestinian teacher and the beneficiary abroad .y


This special report sums up the research and study process that was implemented to determine training needs on two main levels:

Level One: Service General Framework

Level Two: Training Program General Framework


To meet the desired objectives, we needed to answer the following questions:

Wh t th d i /l i t h t d t d1. What are the academic/learning stages where students need private sessions and remedial courses?

2 What are the academic/learning topics at which students need to2. What are the academic/learning topics at which students need to have private sessions in the academic/learning stages previously defined?

3. How is it possible to market for the e-learning idea among the Palestinian student body to make sure it will be a great success?

Personal interviews Similar experiences Similar experiences Focus group


Based on the research findings, the simultaneous e- tutoring service will be offered in science and maths materials from the ninth to the eleventh grades.g

The ideal tools and approaches that will be followed to promote for the simultaneous e- tutoring in Palestine can be summed up based on the research findings as follows:based on the research findings as follows:

1. Government support .2. Piloting the idea on a micro level.
