AMMAN
– HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, founder and chairman of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global
(TAG.Global), has received in his office Ms. Rania Sabih, director of Zaha
Cultural Centers in Jordan, to discuss joint cooperation for supporting the
youth and qualifying them to compete successfully in the labor market.

During
the meeting, the two sides stressed the importance of empowering young people
by sharpening their skills; especially local community members and fresh
graduates, in the remote areas in the country. Towards this goal they agreed to
launch a training program that aims at strengthening young people's skills in
technological and digital fields.

For
this reason, Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh decided to provide a special free Internet line
to all Zaha Centers throughout the Kingdom; as an initial gesture in
implementing the cooperation programs.

Further,
Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh affirmed the important role of Zaha Centers; which is
consistent with those of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Knowledge Stations in serving the
people in all Jordanian governorates. He confirmed that TAG.Global will
continue to support the centers, with high-tech laptops manufactured and
produced by Talal Abu-Ghazaleh for Technology (TAGTech); to replace the old
devices TAG.Global has previously provided, in order to enable the Centers to
continue delivering their services to the local community. 

Dr.
Abu-Ghazaleh, called for collaborating in building capacities through this
program, noting that it would be prepared and developed through two specialized
working groups from TAG.Global and Zaha centers to adopt it in accordance with
a capacity-building guide, based on community studies of the needs of the local
community for job opportunities and trainers. The program, he confirmed, will
be presented by TAG.Global in partnership with Zaha Centers according to the
selected areas of training. 

For
her part, Ms. Sabih stated that
the Zaha Cultural Center is specialized in providing programs, activities and services that
motivate the young to be more creative and innovative. It also carries out
several projects that serve children, in particular, and the society in
general, through its centers spread  throughout the Kingdom.

Moreover, Ms. Sabih pointed out that the Center
seeks to implement different tasks, such as providing cultural services that
match different ages in order to build a conscious and educated generation.
That is in addition to providing an appropriate and encouraging environment for
innovation and invention through conducting scientific programs that help
discover and develop young peoples' skills.
