Orange Foundation
culminated its partnership with the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) by
celebrating the graduation of cohorts of digitally innovative participants who
enrolled in the training programs conducted by the Coding School and the
Fabrication Lab in Irbid, both implemented under the umbrella of Orange Digital
Centers (ODC). This celebration took place at the closing ceremony of the “Najahna”
project, jointly implemented by Orange and NRC with the sole purpose of reaching
more participants and building their digital capabilities.
اضافة اعلانDuring the closing
ceremony, held at the Innovation Hub at Orange Digital Village in Abdali,
students consisting of Jordanian females and males in addition to Syrian
refugees were celebrated upon completion of an intensive training program. Over
the course of the training, they were able to build and enhance their skills in
vital areas namely programming languages, digital innovation, and manufacturing
using digital tools. After graduation, students are set to join the labor
market or embark on an innovative journey. Thanks to efforts made by the students,
the program’s results were nothing short of impressive with 53 projects
revolving around innovative software solutions and prototypes.
On the sidelines of the closing
ceremony, Orange Foundation extended its congratulations to the graduates as
they are starting off their journey toward an empowered future. It also praised
their role in employing digital tools and skills they acquired during the
training to significantly contribute to the development process of their local
communities. Orange expressed its pride in the partnership forged with the
Norwegian Refugee Council as it offers an example to follow when it comes to
joint efforts that enable females and males to achieve personal and
professional excellence.
“NRC is proud of our partnership with
Orange Jordan. Together, we’ve supported 53 Jordanian and Syrian young people
to develop the digital skills needed in today's labor market, giving them the
tools to contribute to Jordan’s economic growth. I congratulate today’s
graduating students and look forward to seeing the progress of their innovative
projects,” commented NRC Country Director, Amy Schmidt.
It is worth noting that the
10-month Digital Skills Development program was part of Najahna project,
jointly implemented by Orange and the Norwegian Refugee Council, to foster the
economic empowerment of females and males across the Kingdom.
