INJAZ programs have INSPIRED 5 million students. Our programs help students gain insight into the complexities and rewards of entrepreneurship and business in today’s interdependent market economy. Successful local business leaders serve as classroom mentors to make the economic concepts relevant, fuel entrepreneurial spirits, and challenge students to excel. In order to effectively implement these programs, we recruit private sector volunteers to work directly with the students. In this way, INJAZ programs effectively bridge the gap between the classroom environment and the workplace. Through these programs, INJAZ provides youth with the foundations of entrepreneurship and business savvy so they themselves are economically active and are in a position to employ others, resulting in a lower unemployment rate in the MENA region.

INJAZ programs have INSPIRED 5 million students. Our programs help students gain insight into the complexities and rewards of entrepreneurship and business in today’s interdependent market economy.

In order to effectively implement these programs, we recruit private sector volunteers to work directly with the students.

Through these programs, INJAZ provides youth with the foundations of entrepreneurship and business savvy so they themselves are economically active and are in a position to employ others, resulting in a lower unemployment rate in the MENA region.

“By developing relevant, hands on training and mentoring programs for Arab youth and connecting them to business leaders to serve as teachers and role models, INJAZ strives to accelerate young people’s ability to contribute to the economic development of their nations and regions by becoming business leaders and entrepreneurs of their local communities.”

INJAZ Al-Arab’s programs focus on three core areas of business education which are:

  • Work Readiness: The widespread mismatch between the skills attained in school and those demanded by the private sector are feeding current youth unemployment rates. INJAZ Al-Arab programs build teamwork, critical thinking, problem solving, communication, and leadership skills employers look for.
  • Financial Literacy: Teaching young people about responsible money management is key to building their own financial security and an economically prosperous future for themselves.
  • Entrepreneurship: Entrepreneurship education prepares youth to be responsible, enterprising individuals. Immersing them in real life learning experiences allows them to take measured risks, manage the results, and learn from the outcomes. This growing number of youth led enterprises creates new jobs and fuels economic development.
