Lebanese host companies and HorizonCraft Lebanese project partners Advisory Board members met to prepare the next phase of the project’s international internships.
In Lebanon, the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture of Beirut and Mount Lebanon brought together local host companies and members of the HorizonCraft Advisory Board to prepare the ground for the project’s three-month internship placements.
The session focused on a practical question: how can companies, tutors and project partners work together to provide young participants with an experience that strengthens their professional skills and employability?
Opening the meeting, Rabih Sabra, Director General of the Beirut and Mount Lebanon Chamber, highlighted the Chamber’s commitment to supporting young people and the wide range of services it provides to small and medium-sized enterprises.
Hana Nehme Haidar then presented HorizonCraft’s main activities and upcoming milestones, connecting the internship programme with the project’s broader objective of creating stronger links between young jobseekers and businesses across the Mediterranean.
A key part of the session was dedicated to the digital matching platform, presented through a live demonstration by Dory Abou Saab. The platform will support the process of connecting internship candidates with host companies according to their profiles, skills and professional interests.
The discussion also gave participating companies the opportunity to address practical aspects of the mobility experience, including the profiles of the young candidates, expectations for the internships, the role of company tutors and the support required throughout the three-month placements. Members of the Advisory Board contributed their experience and perspectives, helping to identify the conditions needed to make the internships valuable for both participants and hosting organisations.
The meeting represents another step towards turning HorizonCraft’s Mediterranean cooperation into concrete professional opportunities for young people.
The next phase will focus on preparing company tutors, completing the matching between candidates and host organisations, and organising the mobility experiences.
