Press Release — The
giglancing program, which Orange Jordan recently concluded, has trained 1057
young women and men in skills necessary for freelance work online.

The
program was launched with Better Business, a Jordanian management
consulting firm specializing
in capacity building and human capital development, and Khibraty, in
cooperation with the Crown Prince Foundation.
Over
the period of six months, the program provided a series of training sessions
delivered by experts to youth interested and unemployed across Jordan, in order
to grow their professional skills to unlock freelance opportunities available
online, as a feasible alternative to traditional jobs, to generate income, in
turn reducing unemployment rates and contributing to economic growth.
CEO
of Orange Jordan, Thierry Marigny, said: “I am extremely happy with the
outcomes of the program and its impact, which indicates the need to find new,
alternative jobs and to enhance the skills of jobseekers regardless of their
education level, considering the potential of freelance platforms. Around 61%
of the program joiners were unemployed and many started to have income from
freelance work”.
Orange
Jordan launched the giglancing Program within its corporate social
responsibility which focuses on empowering youth with the required skills,
filling the gap between capacities and the job market, and enhancing inclusion,
added Marigny, noting that women made up 62% of the program’s joiners, with
some persons with disabilities taking part too, stressing that both are at the
core of the company’s social responsibility.
Better
Business served more than 570 clients in private and public sectors with its
innovative capacity building programs. Better Business is the first company in
Jordan to adopt online training and team-building activities during the Covid
pandemic, gaining unique expertise in operating fully virtual programs.
