Gaza’s got talent

Although nervous about jumping into sales with an engineering background, the intensive course and traineeship prepared Abdelhaleem with knowledge and experience to confidently interview with companies after graduation. A single interview was all Swiss company Wingtra needed to offer him a job as a Business Development Representative, working remotely from Gaza.

“Since the start of TAP, I’ve looked forward to it every single day. This was so much more than a program to learn to become a salesperson; this is something I will cherish forever, even more than my time at university.”

‘I googled: can introverts do sales?’

After graduating with an English degree and working in procurement for 2 years, Zbaideh craved a new career opportunity. When a friend sent her a post about TAP’s Business Development program, it was exactly what she was searching for. She gave the program her all for 3 months and landed a remote job as a Business Development Analyst for Swiss company, Covalo.
