INJAZ Al-Arab partners with leading corporations to mentor and train young people in entrepreneurship and professional skills to develop their ambition to drive the economies of the Arab world forward.
Founded in 2004 as a non-profit, it operates today in 15 countries across MENA as a federation of national operations. Nearly two million Arab Youth have participated in INJAZ programs to date.
Our unique education model enables students to make a success transition into the world of work, providing them with equal opportunities regardless of gender, background or social status.
