8. Variety and Impact of Courses: Focus on ways to increase the impact of the training courses, considering ways to make their duration longer, complement them with other skills-development courses, and identify new areas of vocational training, particularly targeting value-added sectors and new labour market demands; o Entrepreneurship training programmes: This was one of the most significant activities to achieve under Objective 1 in TUR/17/06/USA Project in facilitating the Syrian refugee and host community members to establish micro business or self-employment. Follow-up courses could be arranged for Syrian and non-Syrians alike. Focus more on technology, IT, social entrepreneurship, and home-based work in the formal way in order to deal with such a complex issue; and high number of outputs by implementation of high number of different activities for different groups involved. o Specialized Language training: Language training for stronger social integration is utmost necessary since language poses one of the main barriers for Syrian and non-Syrian refugees to have access to labour markets actively. In this respect, non-formal adult training on Turkish language and vocational competences is provided by the Public Education Centers (PECs) affiliated to the Ministry of National Education Directorate General Life-Long Learning (MoNE-DGLLL). However, the teachers working at PECs in certain provinces were criticized for not giving adequate training to refugees for future employment. Therefore, with the aim of increasing employability and ensuring better communication between colleagues and employers, specific Turkish courses can be tailored to increase the relevant vocabulary capacity of participants. o Offering Adult Training Courses: In addition to the Turkish language courses, various non-formal general adult training courses (literacy, personal development, sports, social services and consultancy) can be offered to Syrian and non-Syrian refugees.
