NetCorps Jordan
The "Promoting Entrepreneurship" component of NetCorps Jordan aims to strengthen the capacity of micro and small enterprises (MSEs) by focusing on the services and manufacturing sectors in the governorates of Zarqa, Irbid, and Balqa and introducing workers in these areas to new technologies, business practices, and improved sales and marketing management skills. Through this Microsoft Unlimited Potential grant, NetCorps will recruit youth who will be placed in four knowledge stations to deliver training to project beneficiaries. Additionally, these program participants will assist in the implementation of small ICT-related projects during the project incubation phase.
