"Eventually," says Khoury, a Palestinian who resides in Athens, "this new generation of skilled workers will return" to build the economy from within, but for now, their remittances from abroad are invaluable. So far, CCC has placed all of the graduates of the Gaza program in its offices in Dubai or the United Arab Emirates and intends to hire all of the 16 currently enrolled in the six-month course...
