Life-Changing & Empowering
After graduating from university, I ended up doing boring jobs completely unrelated to my major. After joining the first cohort of Freelance Training in Hebron city, I found myself receiving multiple job offers across various freelancing platforms, and quit my full-time job!

I don’t settle for any project that comes my way, and I always encourage myself to follow the path of self-learning by accepting projects that push me to develop and grow. I’ve always read the success stories on GSG pages, and now I’m one!

Eligibility Criteria
Upper-Intermediate Spoken English skills
Ability to understand and speak English at least at an intermediate level is a must. Participants must have the needed English skills to allow them to communicate with clients from all over the world, which opens the door for them to secure a wide range of gigs.
Full-time commitment
Despite the fact that the freelance academy sessions are held for 3 hours a day, 3 days a week, participants must be fully available for three months — the training period. Full availability is crucial as it is key to committing to any assigned session schedule, completing tasks and assignments, attending networking events and other activities, as well as applying for gigs or working on projects when they start to land freelancing jobs during the training period.
Technical skills required
Participants should have some previous work experience or a portfolio to showcase their skills and abilities as the program focus is to digitize and market existing skills. It also helps convince clients that they can successfully deliver on assignments secured online, for example:
