INJAZ is a non-profit organization founded in 1999. Headquartered in Amman, Jordan, it provides vocational training courses for children and youth from developing nations.
History
INJAZ was established in 1999, as a project under Save the Children, and funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). INJAZ found sponsorship from Jordanian Queen Rania al Abdullah.[1] Although it faced opposition, particularly in Ma'am, the project was relaunched in 2001, as an independent non-profit under the leadership of Soraya Salty.[2] By the 2010–2011 school year, INJAZ had reached a membership total of over 100,000 school students in Jordan.[3]
INJAZ focuses on providing vocational training and entrepreneurship skills to young people.[4][5] The program receives partial funding from the business sector in Jordan,[6] and some professionals from private businesses volunteer as teachers and leaders.[7]
The organization operates more than 44 initiatives across all 12 governorates in Jordan, collaborating with 3000 schools, 41 universities and colleges, and 50 youth centers.[8]
Locations
INJAZ is headquartered in Amman, Jordan. It has field offices in Irbid, Zara, Al Karaka, Wadi Musa, Taxila and Aqaba.[9]
