In line with their shared vision to empower youth technologically, Orange Jordan and Al Hussein Technical University (HTU), a Crown Prince Foundation initiative, joined forces and signed an agreement with the purpose of launching an apprenticeship that spans over 6-8 months. It will support the enhancement of the workplace and employability skills of HTU’s students in several technology domains namely Data Science, Data Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Robotic Process Automation, Cybersecurity and others.

This step comes as well to boost the students’ readiness to join the labor market through supporting their pursuit of quality and market-driven technical knowledge.

Orange Jordan’s CEO Philippe Mansour and HTU’s President Prof. Ismael Al-Hinti signed the agreement on behalf of both parties.

On the sidelines of the agreements’ signing, Mansour emphasized the fundamental role that such partnerships play to enable young women and men to be an influential part in the course of the global digital revolution that infiltrates all life’s aspects. Mansour praised the extended partnership with HTU which led to the implementation of several initiatives to empower youth with digital knowledge being an effective means to lead the future.

Prof. Al-Hinti, from his side, stressed the crucial importance of working together with Orange Jordan,  to provide  the HTU’s students with the best education and training . He also asserted that Orange Jordan's efforts to promote digital skills and help young females and males to pursue their career paths  are perfectly aligned with the vision of HTU in this arena.

It is worth mentioning that Orange Jordan supported numerous initiatives and activities at HTU including the sponsorship of the National SUMO Robot Contest which was organized by HTU in 2023 at the King Hussein Business Park with the participation of 150 teams, 600 students, and more than 50 educational institutions from all over Jordan.
