Orange Jordan sponsored and supported the Jordan Job Fair and training Expo 2008, which was inaugurated by the Minister of Labor Mr. Bassem Salem representative of His Majesty King Abdullah II. The event lasted for three days with the participation of around 110 companies working in various fields such as constructions, health, education and IT in Jordan and the Middle East.

The fair, which was held for the second successive year in cooperation with the Ministry of Labor and the International Fairs Promotion (IFP) Jordan, aimed to give young Jordanians the chance to learn about job opportunities, importance of training through conducting lectures and sessions as well as providing jobs for seekers through giving them the chance to meet directly with the companies and institutions working in the Jordanian and non Jordanian private sector that are looking for qualified Jordanian youth.  

Orange Jordan provided Wi-Fi services available at the Expo for the duration of the Fair, and through the Group’s volunteer arm, Jordan Telecom Group Foundation, it has established a media and services center equipped with computers, printers and faxes as well as other telecommunications devices serving the media, participants and visitors, making it easy for job seekers to send their CVs and recruitment applications.

Orange Jordan's Human Resources department had also an effective participation in the fair through guiding the graduates on how to fill in job applications’ forms. Following that the staff gathered the applications in order to study them and nominate some candidates for vacancies at Orange. Through its participation in the fair, Orange Jordan has employed a large number of graduates who submitted  their job applications during the Fair last year.

Through this sponsorship, Orange highlights its contribution towards social responsibility and its role in activating its social activities which come to fulfill the national needs, providing the necessary support for the society’s institutions and their activities especially in the areas that help in decreasing the number of unemployed people and increasing the qualifications of the Jordanian youth, stressing by that on the Group’s commitment towards achieving substantial development of the Jordanian community.
