INJAZ is a non-profit organization founded in Jordan, where it operates vocational training courses for children.

History

Initially established in 1999 as a project under Save the Children and funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), INJAZ is now sponsored by Jordanian Queen Rania al Abdullah.[1] In its early stages the project encountered opposition, notably in Ma'an; it was re-launched in 2001 by Soraya Salti as an independent non-profit.[2] During the school year 2010/2011, its activities reached over 100,000 school students in Jordan.[3]

INJAZ provides vocational training and aims to teach young people entrepreneurship skills.[4][5] The program has received partial funding from the business sector,[6]. Managers and founders of private businesses may volunteer as teachers and workshop leaders.[7]

The organization claims to operate more than 44 initiatives across all 12 governorates in Jordan, working closely with 3000 schools, 41 universities and colleges, and 50 youth centers.

Voluntarism

INJAZ's platform facilitates volunteer services, including CSR programs that have been adopted by over 300 private and public sector partners.[8]

Organization

INJAZ is headquartered in Amman, Jordan. It has field offices in Irbid, Zarqa, Karak, Wadi Musa, Tafilah and Aqaba.
