Orange Digital Centers and Proparco Celebrate Coding Academy Graduation and Host Tech Career Day
Orange Jordan has celebrated the graduation of a new cohort of "Heroes of Change' from the Coding Academy, implemented under the umbrella of Orange Digital Centers (ODC). This is part of a project launched in collaboration with Proparco, the private sector financing arm of Agence Française de Développement Group (AFD Group). The project aimed to empower youth in four Jordanian governorates—Zarqa, Irbid, Aqaba, and Balqa—with the aim of expanding their digital horizons and enhancing their technical skills to align with the needs of the rapidly growing job market.
The two parties organized an event that included the graduation of more than 120 students as part of the first cohort of the project. Proparco provided financial support of €1 million to enhance the activities of the Coding Academies in various governorates, further supporting efforts to realize the vision of digital inclusion across the Kingdom.
The CEO of Orange Jordan, Philippe Mansour, expressed his appreciation for this important partnership with Proparco. In its first phase, the initiative contributed to enabling more youth to start their journey by connecting them with the leading companies in the sector through the job fair.
Mansour added that Orange looks forward to graduate more youth with digital competencies in the upcoming phases, which will enhance the sector with exceptional talents. He also extended his gratitude to the Agence Française de Développement Group, Simplon.Co, companies in the ICT sector, as well as other partners for their role in the success of this event.
From his side, Sebastien Fleury, Regional Director for Proparco in the Middle East, underlined the fruitful partnership between Orange and Proparco. Vocational training and innovation programs, such as the one proposed by Orange, are key to ensuring access to employment for the youth. It helps to fill up the gap between the need of the market and the local competences available. As for Proparco, job creation is one of the pillar of its strategy, supporting the Orange Coding Academy is obvious.
It is worth noting that the event also included a job fair in partnership with several ICT companies. Participants were introduced to the available vacancies in the sector and were able to present their resumes, boosting their chances of finding jobs that match their skills and aspirations.

Jordan, Syria Explore Deeper ICT Cooperation in High-Level Talks
Ammon News - Jordan and Syria have agreed to strengthen cooperation in the fields of telecommunications and information technology, following high-level discussions held virtually on Monday between the Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, Sami Samirat, and Syria's Minister of Communications and Technology, Abdel Salam Haykal. According to a statement from the ministry, the meeting focused on efforts to activate a regional fiber-optic corridor, explore alternative routes for internet and telecom services, and position Jordan as a strategic transit hub for data traffic with a potential capacity of up to 100 terabytes. The initiative would involve linking Syrian and Jordanian fiber-optic networks to enhance service sustainability and regional connectivity. The two sides expressed shared interest in making Jordan a critical passage for internet traffic transiting through Syrian territory to destinations further south, underscoring the strategic role of infrastructure cooperation in broader regional development. As part of their plan to foster closer collaboration, the ministers agreed to organize a technical forum in Damascus at the earliest opportunity. The event will bring together private-sector companies from both countries working in telecommunications, digital infrastructure, and IT services. It aims to create new channels for business partnerships and investment. Minister Samirat is expected to head the Jordanian delegation to the forum, which will include representatives from key Jordanian companies specializing in fiber-optic systems, digital platforms, and infrastructure development.

Role of Crown Prince Foundation in promoting collective work — Tawasol Forum
The Crown Prince Foundation (CPF) stands as a beacon of hope for millions of Jordanians, particularly the youth. Through its initiatives, the CPF extends its reach across the nation, fostering awareness, dialogue, and action on critical national issues. The Foundation champions the active engagement of youth in leadership, entrepreneurship, education and sustainable development while addressing the challenges and opportunities of an increasingly digital world. This strategic focus aims to harness the capabilities of Jordan's young population, creating pathways for enhanced job opportunities and ensuring their active participation in shaping the nation's future. Among the many initiatives spearheaded by the CPF, the Tawasol Forum has emerged as a pivotal platform for national dialogue. Now in its third edition, the Forum has become a cornerstone for institutionalizing conversations on pressing issues concerning the future of Jordan and its people. The third edition of the Tawasol Forum, held recently, emphasised the critical role of youth and their empowerment as central themes. This year, the Forum centered its discussions on emerging and transformative themes such as Artificial Intelligence, Digital Transformation, Technical and Vocational Education and Entrepreneurship. The Forum also embraced a comprehensive and inclusive approach in discussing national issues that resonate with future generations. Topics such as tourism, culture, art, administrative and economic reform, and other societal matters were deliberated with a focus on their long-term implications. This diversity of topics reflects the CPF's commitment to ensuring that all facets of national development are considered in shaping Jordan's trajectory. To further amplify the impact and out reach of the Tawasol Forum, its dialogue sessions are broadcast live through various media and social media channels. This approach ensures widespread community engagement and raises awareness among young people about pressing national issues and their implications for professional, social and economic futures. By incorporating innovation and fostering direct communication with stakeholders, the Forum is building vital bridges that connect diverse sectors of society. Moreover, by making the data and outcomes of the Forum accessible, national and educational institutions can rely on these insights as a valuable reference for strategic planning and policymaking. The discussions, findings and recommendations emerging from the Tawasol Forum are being meticulously drafted to create a clear and comprehensive vision. This vision aims to guide decision-makers and executive authorities in formulating policies and strategies aligned with the aspirations and needs of the Jordanian people. By channeling the insights gained through dialogue into actionable outcomes, the CPF seeks to make a tangible impact on the nation's future. Looking ahead, there is a shared vision for the Tawasol Forum to evolve into one of Jordan's most important national think-tank centers. By adopting an interactive, innovative and inclusive mode of operation, the Forum aspires to mirror successful models from developed countries that prioritise scientific and participatory research. For a country like Jordan, which has long lacked such forward-thinking platforms, this represents a transformative opportunity. By organising future editions of the Tawasol Forum, it becomes possible to explore and simulate the intricate relationship between local and global challenges in an ever-accelerating digital world. The Forum's ability to propose innovative solutions will be key in addressing these challenges, ultimately contributing to enhancing the quality of life for all Jordanians. These efforts, showcasing the Crown Prince Foundation's unwavering commitment to progress, embody the aspirations of Jordanian leadership to foster a culture of collective action. Under the visionary guidance of HRH Crown Prince Al Hussein and the support of His Majesty King Abdullah, the CPF strives to establish a sustainable environment that nurtures creativity and innovation.
