On December 31, 2023, SOCA dispatched a team to the Haldoor Technical and Vocational Training Centre in the Hargeisa Digaalle Section. Their objective was to closely observe the selection process for the Makeup and Henna, Tie and Dye, and Tailoring courses. The selection committee at Haldoor, comprising the centre principal, the finance officer, and the placement officer, oversaw the process. The presence of the SOCA team aimed to ensure that the chosen applicants met the advertised requirements set by the Haldoor board.

The eligibility criteria for the program were clearly outlined, including low income, age restrictions (18–35 years old), literacy, gender (female only), relevant background in these fields, commitment to the program, and responsibility.

Out of the 387 applicants, an impressive turnout of 77 candidates arrived for the written exam, which consisted of basic general knowledge, on December 31, 2023. The exam promptly commenced at 10:20 am at a school located in the Digaalle section in Hargeisa. The Haldoor team conducted the exam under the vigilant supervision of the SOCA monitoring team. Following the exam, the Haldoor committee meticulously evaluated the applicants, and within a few days, the 50 successful candidates for the courses were officially announced.
