IRC offers two Job opportunities in Lebanon to work as a basic English trainer and basic French teacher in Wadi Khaled. Most Syrian refugee youths in Lebanon face barriers to access employment and are offered few skills-building opportunities as an alternative. These youths need a safe learning space that will equip them with tools to tackle these challenges and eventually earn a safe income, thereby helping them to rebuild their self-confidence. In Lebanon, English or French with Arabic are taught from early years in school and education is compulsory from the age of 6 to age 14, corresponding to the basic education cycle. In addition, and because of the Syrian crisis, the accelerated learning program for Syrian children, incorporates Arabic, Math, Sciences and English (the second shift). Although foreign language instruction is another major barrier to the educational inclusion of Syrian refugees, it is also a barrier for Syrians accessing decent employment within Lebanon. The training here described focuses on the learning of Basic English language and basic of French language skills. The need for a Basic English and French training was equally requested by several job seekers of the IRC’s livelihoods center, and especially by employers who see it as a requirement in the market and not as an option. Based on the above, this training is proposed for youth Lebanese residents and Syrian refugees living in the Akkar – Wadi Khaled region.
