History
Established in 1999, INJAZ originally operated as a project under Save the Children, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and by Jordanian Queen Rania al Abdullah.[2] The project was relaunched in 2001 as an independent nonprofit organization, led by Soraya Salti.[3] Jordan enrolled over 100,000 students by the 2010-2011 school year.[4]
INJAZ provides young people with vocational training and entrepreneurship skills.[5][6] The organization receives support from Jordan's business and professional community, which contributes funds, as well as volunteer teachers and leaders.[7][8]
In 2018 INJAZ established mySTARTUP, a subsidiary incubator program that helps youth and women entrepreneurs launch startups. The current operational capacity of mySTARTUP allows it to incubate 100 startups a year.[1][9]
