ICP’s commitment to providing high-quality training and development rests on its belief that the Palestinian community is eager to learn and improve its skills and develop its institutions. ICP seeks to contribute to creating and building a cadre of skilled personnel who can provide effective organizational and institutional management.

ICP also strives to blend Palestinian culture, values and traditions with modern technological and scientific developments in its training activities and services.

The educational/training activities of ICP range from seminars, workshops, short and long training courses to special application diploma programs consisting of a number of modules in a specific field targeting the development and upgrading of a specific skill. These programs are designed on the basis of ongoing needs assessments within the community. ICP improves its programs through a continuous process of monitoring and evaluation of its training activities and their graduates. The main focus in all these activities is placed on providing hands-on training, emphasizing the concept of learning by doing.

ICP prides itself in offering a unique blend of components in order to provide high quality training activities and consulting services. Needs assessments are conducted on a continuous basis and are used to design and develop ICP courses and workshops. These needs assessments are based on completed surveys and studies by local and international organizations or through direct requests.

Specialized professionals are recruited on a project-by-project basis and are responsible for course design and training delivery. Additional personnel may also be selected from among a pool of qualified professionals from the University and the community at large.

Continuous follow up and evaluation play an integral part of ICP's operation. Evaluation focuses on sustainability of skills acquired in training in the work environment, applicability of training to the actual work setting, and impact on quality of participants’ performance. Participants provide immediate feedback that is used to improve future training programs.
