What is at stake

ULEAP is a social business created by the European Institute for Cooperation and Development* to assist young men and women in becoming a force for change in the renewable energy field.

We bridge the skills gap and stay up to date with the latest innovations through a unique model combining on-the-job experience with tailored professional and life skills trainings to nurture a generation of skilled individuals poised for success.

Through collaborative initiatives with our partners, we foster an environment where these future leaders can convert their enthusiasm and motivation into their professional and personal growth.

*The European Institute for Cooperation and Development (IECD) is a not-for-profit organization recognized as serving the public interest. Established in Lebanon in 1989, it became a leader in empowering individuals – young men and women in particular – through vocational training and professional insertion, support for entrepreneurs and small businesses. IECD-Lebanon strives to promote the sustainable integration of the young people in the workforce.

The ULEAP journey

After Alaa graduated as an electro-technician, he set out to grow his skills and secure his future, only to be confronted with a lack of opportunities and support in his field.

By chance, Alaa enrolled in an emerging vocational training program launched by the Euro-pean Institute for Cooperation and Development (IECD).

In just one short year, Alaa and fellow trainees acquired a professional work ethic combining technical expertise and a diverse range of soft skills. This transformative experience reinforced his confidence and facilitated his access to a fulfilling career path.

That program rapidly became ULEAP and, true to its name, it continues to grow and be a catalyst for empowering individuals and propelling them toward a brighter future.
