Welcome to the ACE website

The goal of the Ainkawa Center for Employment is to be a catalyst for positive social and economic development in Erbil. The trainings, mentorships and job-matching activities of ACE are designed to enhance marketable skills, connect people from all walks of life with each other for a constructive common purpose and be the catalyst for the creation of opportunities for job seekers and employers.

The positive social and economic developments sought as a result of ACE activities include increased social cohesion, a diversified and strengthened sense of community, a better-skilled workforce, a better qualified pool of job-seekers, and easier access between job seekers and employers.

The doors of ACE are open to all people interested in participating in free trainings, registering for the database, or learning more about ACE's activities.

Who we are

The Ainkawa Center for Employment (ACE) was created in July, 2008 to address unemployment and capacity issues in Erbil, Iraq. From its office in Ainkawa, ACE implements outreach activities across the city to gather information about employers and job seekers. The information obtained is stored in a digital database, and used as an innovative tool to match those who seek employment with those who offer employment. ACE offers free trainings on a variety of basic office skills, and via a mentorship program, provides focused and financially-supported assistance to candidates seeking to gain practical skills through on-the-job training.
