The department supervises several daily programs that are implemented in day centers, including the pre-vocational rehabilitation program and the vocational skills program. 

• Pre-vocational training 

The pre-vocational rehabilitation program is an important part of the rehabilitation process, which aims to develop physical, mental, social and professional capabilities and direct energies at work, as well as contribute to the process of integrating people with disabilities into society and enabling them to withstand and be self-reliant in all fields. 

• Vocational Skills Program 

It receives persons with disabilities from the age of 17 years who are able to integrate into the professional field by training them and bringing them to a level that enables them to practice special professional skills (sewing, carpentry, bamboo, straw, glass painting, and maintenance of assistive tools) as this program is implemented in the city of hope in Khan Younis / Gaza Strip.
