Job club or skills training offered regularly

Evaluates whether the organization offers regular, accessible in-person and/or online programs, such as hybrid job clubs or skills training workshops, to support community members in gaining employment or improving their professional capabilities. While ensuring dignity, safety, and regulatory compliance, these initiatives reflect the Islamic emphasis on kasb (lawful earning) and achieving kifayah (self-reliance).
