Orange Jordan, EU announce new programs in Balqa’s Vocational Training Center – Roya News English

Under the patronage of the Minister of Labor, Nayef Stetieh, Orange Jordan signed an agreement on Sunday, August 14, 2022, with the Vocational Training Corporation to launch Orange FabLab, a coding academy, and an accelerator at a vocational training center in Al-Salt in the governorate of Balqa.

The Director General of the Vocational Training Corporation, Engineer Ahmed Gharaibeh, and Orange Jordan's Deputy CEO/CFO, Raslan Deiranieh, signed the agreement to launch the programs, as part of “Innovation Space”, a three-year project co-funded by the EU’s “Innovation for Enterprise Growth and Jobs” program aiming to promote digital empowerment and innovation culture on a wider scale.

The new free digital programs that will be launched at the vocational training corporation in Balqa are an extension of the “Innovation Space” project that seeks to expand Orange’s free digital programs and give youth the opportunity to benefit from training in digital skills growing in demand to enhance their employability and support them in launching their own projects.
