INJAZ is a non-profit organization founded in Jordan, where it operates vocational training courses for children and youth of developing nations.
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 sponsored by Jordanian Queen Rania al Abdullah.[1] In its early stages, the project encountered opposition, notably in Ma'an and was re-launched in 2001 by Soraya Salti as an independent non-profit.[2] During the school years 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 organisation states that it operates more than 44 initiatives across all 12 governments in Jordan, working closely with 3000 schools, 41 universities, colleges, and 50 youth centers.[8]
Volunteering
INJAZ's platform facilitates volunteer services, including Corporate Social Responsibilities programs that have been adopted by over 300 private and public sector partners.[9]
Locations
INJAZ is headquartered in Amman, Jordan. It has field offices in Irbid, Zarqa, Al Karak, Wadi Musa, Tafilah and Aqaba.[citation needed]
