"Tashغeel - My First Experience" project intends to provide university students, who already graduated or are near graduation, with technical and digital business skills in three tracks related to Software development (two tracks) and research/administrative work (one track). Following the training, talented trainees will do a 3-month internship under the supervision of a mentor appointed by LASeR to follow up on interns and thus help them in achieving the goals of the internship.

"Tashغeel - My First Experience" has been set up to be a successful first experience that provides beneficiaries access to the labor market through high skills training and matching with employers through an established network of companies and institutions willing to support them and provide them with paid internships and jobs.
