In 1999, a celebration of a new hope began with the inception of INJAZ, the outcome of a dream and the strong belief in the potential of Jordanian youth. INJAZ was born with a mission to inspire and prepare Jordanian youth, and enhance their opportunities to join the job market as qualified employees and entrepreneurs. Since then, INJAZ has been reaching out to thousands of Jordanian students, helping them realize their full potential throughout academia and into career.

INJAZ brings various capacity building courses to classrooms in public schools, universities and community colleges around the Kingdom, and offers students many programs to enhance their leadership, business entrepreneurial, economics, problem-solving, communication, and soft skills.

INJAZ works in full coordination with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Higher Education, and King Abdullah II Fund for Development. Moreover, the large network of private sector partners gives essential leverage to INJAZ that is continuously promoting a new ‘culture’ in which the private sector plays a major and direct role in the development of the educational system.

INJAZ was started as a project by Save the Children with funds from USAID. In 2001, it spun off to become an independent not-for-profit organization under the Patronage of Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah II. INJAZ is an International Member of Junior Achievement Worldwide, the leading global youth organization.
