Orange Jordan Joins Forces with NRC to Reach New Segments Through its Digital Community Programs

Enabling as many participants as possible to build their digital capabilities lies at the heart of Orange Jordan’s comprehensive CSR programs, which leads the company to formulate partnership agreements with organizations and institutions that share the same vision. Aligning with this, and coinciding with Orange Group CEO Christel Heydemann’s visit to Jordan, Orange Jordan has taken additional steps towards reaching more participants in its digital programs by signing a new partnership agreement with the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC).

The agreement was signed on behalf of Orange Jordan by their CEO Philippe Mansour, and on behalf of NRC by the Country Director in Jordan Amy Schmidt, in the presence of a number of executive members from both parties.

As per the agreement, both parties will unite their efforts through the Fabrication Lab in Irbid and the Coding School with the purpose of targeting new segments including young females and males in addition to Syrian Refugees to build their kills and boost their readiness to embark upon their digital journey.
