We believe the promise of the future of Palestinian youth lies not in technology alone, but in their ability to understand, manage and apply it. Nearly three-quarters of our graduates will go on to Palestinian institutions of higher learning, and when they do, their hands-on experience at ETVTC will have helped to give them the tools needed to expand their horizons and to make sound decisions about their future vocations .

While technological and communication skills development are the core of our program, our Center serves many purposes. We startred our Hotel Services department two years ago with different courses in cooking and service, and we will start offering long term Hotel Services Programs by the beginning of the next school year. We also implement after school music and ballet programs, and a ceramic arts. Through our yearly technological, cultural and recreational summer camp, we reach out to our community, and we have a comfortable on-site guest house and chapel for conferences and retreats.

Our parents believe that education is one of the most important things a parent can give their children. Our students reflect this legacy. Visitors to our center comment on the high level of motivation they see when they observe our students working with AutoCAD designs or assembling a complex working machine from a K’nex kit.

It is our hope that our program will help build intercultural understanding, a sense of personal responsibility, confidence, and a “can-do” spirit in our students, and above all, to give them hope for the future.
