Program Objectives: University students and recent graduates from regional universities outside of the main urban centers in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region regularly report that they feel unprepared to enter the job market, despite significant U.S. investment in each university's career development center.

Participants and Audiences: The chosen audience should focus on those described under “Priority Region.” Applicants should make clearly explain their rationale for choosing between a program with few numbers but a presumably more in-depth impact, versus a program with significantly larger number of participants but with less time spent per participant.
