Sima Mousa
Sales Development Representative
@Wecheer

“I felt like I was entering a new world where roadblocks were being removed. TAP deeply cares about inclusion and equality. These are the values that underpin its mission to upskill and train Palestinians and connect them to jobs with international companies.”

The perfect match

Swiss SaaS company, Wecheer, found their perfect match in Sima. An English literature graduate from An Najah National University, Sima elevated her skills through TAP’s Business Development program to become a passionate Sales Development Representative.

Abdelhaleem Elderawi
Business Development Representative
@Wingtra

“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.”

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.

Zbaideh Anabtawi
Business Development Analyst
@Covalo

“I knew that if [Jafar Shunnar, co-founder] was involved in something like this, it would be good! I was excited to be part of this. It felt like an opportunity.”

‘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.
