Mr. President. over the years the persistent efforts of UNRWA have led increasing numbers of Arab refugees along the road to resettlement. Its vocational training program has proved to be one of its most promising efforts and is undergoing rapid expansion. There are now about 10 training centers. most of them in Jordan. and they provide instruction in a number of trades for more than 4.000 refugees. Graduates of these vocational schools are needed to fill existing job vacancies in the Arab countries and despite obstacles these skilled workers readily find gainful employment. The United States provides some of the funds needed for this program but UNRWA is making an effort to enlist support from individuals for this eminently worthy cause.
