Abu-Ghazaleh and the National Alliance against Hunger Sign MoU for Cooperation in the field of Electronic Training

07 May 2017 Amman - The Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Professional Training and the National Alliance against Hunger and Malnutrition (NAJMA) signed a cooperation agreement in the field of E-Training.

The two sides agreed to cooperate in implementing training courses in Amman and Irbid through the Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization for Professional Training facilities located in those areas.

The Agreement was signed by the Training Executive Director, Mr. Yousef Al-Rawas on behalf of TAG-Org, and the General Coordinator, Mr. Mu'tasim Al-Hayari on behalf of the Alliance.

Through NAJMA, 500 trainees (males and females) will be required to go through a screening process consisting of an assessment in basic English language skills and computer proficiency in order to qualify for training by TAG-Org. Following the assessment, delivery of agreed-upon training courses for trainees and the design and implementation of training courses will be initiated.

TAG-Org will also offer professional training either in Digital Marketing & Social Media, or in Electronic Archiving and Data Management. Both traineeships will be combined with training on the Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Small and Medium Enterprises Program. Additionally, TAG-Org will help to connect successful trainees of both genders with relevant employers for recruitment purposes, and will include them in the database of the Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Employment Company according to competition based merit in line with standards adopted by TAG-Org.

Both sides agreed to form a Joint Technical Committee to follow- up on the preparation of an executive plan for the implementation of the Agreement and to solve any difficulties that may arise. The duties of the Committee will be to submit its reports and recommendations to the management of each side, to prepare and execute a plan of action designed to implement the agreement, to supervise and maintain the proper conduct of exams and trainee selection, and to determine course content and trainee distribution based on their results in the level-setting and qualification examinations.
