The program is aimed at women looking to resume
their careers after taking voluntary breaks to care for their families.
This year, the program was launched in partnership
with prominent companies that share the bank’s commitment to strengthening
women’s economic participation.
The list of partners includes the Crown Prince
Foundation,
PwC Middle East, Hikma Pharmaceuticals, Zain Jordan, Amam Ventures,
and the Business and Professional Women Association.
“The women participating in the program had the
unique opportunity to benefit from workshops and practical training that
allowed them to bridge the gap between their employment and unemployment years
to prepare them to re-enter the labor market,” the statement said.
After the program’s success in previous years, which
has enabled 45 percent of alumnae to get employed, and 20 percent to establish
businesses, Bank al Etihad invited several companies to train participants at
their premises to amplify the impact of the program, leading to the
participation of 38 women.
“Bank al Etihad
considers the program an expression of its identity and values, characterized
by gender diversity, inclusivity, and equal opportunities,” the statement said.
The bank’s launch of the program emphasizes its
confidence in the vast potential of women in Jordan, its support of women from
different professions, and its belief in the need for women’s greater
participation in the workforce, which contributes to the Jordanian
economy.
The Shorouq Career Comeback Program is part of the
wider “Shorouq” suite of banking solutions and non-financial services that Bank
al Etihad launched in 2014 to enable women to achieve financial independence
and security and activate their economic participation.
Bank al Etihad is a Jordanian banking and financial
institution that has been operating for 41
years. It offers a growing network of 53 branches
and 125 ATMs that are spread across the Kingdom.
The bank also owns a central exchange unit, a
financial brokerage company (Al-Etihad Brokerage), and a financial leasing

of the Board of Directors of the National Bank in Palestine.
It also owns 36 percent of the shares in Safwa
