The Elia Nuqul Foundation organizes a needs assessment workshop for its scholars

In addition to identifying training topics, the workshop tackled issues related to importance of community service activities; along with the role of social entrepreneurship as a means of addressing gaps and needs in communities, the value of internships and the student's future employ ability, as well as establishing a committee for the Elia Nuqul Foundation Fellowship Network which will act as a support system for its students and future graduates.

ENF is committed to providing its scholars with access to training and other educational opportunities since these ingredients are essential to the student's future success and employability. Additionally, ENF strongly believes in the importance of internships for students to gain real-world employment experiences.

Ms. Deena Kalimat Tugoz, Director of Elia Nuqul Foundation, commented,

"Our objective at ENF is for our scholars to become well-rounded individuals through the training they will be receiving, the community service they are required to complete, and the exposure to internship opportunities ENF hopes to link them to in the future."

Amr Sawalha, a Yarmouk University scholar commented, "We are fortunate that ENF is taking so much interest in our future well-being through the scholarships we have been given, and now, ENF wants to cultivate and strengthen our personal development to make sure that when we graduate, we have the skills needed to enter the job market."
