Sponsored by National Fund for Enterprise Support (NAFES), the training program was held under the supervision of an elite team of business instructors and experts.

In her comment, Acting Manager of NAFES, Rima Ras, praised QRCE’s unremitting efforts in fueling the spirit of creativity and innovation among Jordanian talented youth and providing them with the technical skills and practical expertise needed to transform their start-ups into successful long-lasting projects.

For his part, QRNEC’s Program Manager, Eng. Mohammad Shahin, said that the training program comes in line with QRCE’s objectives to invest in the emerging generation which represents a strategic choice strongly aligned with national development.

To reach the largest possible number of participants, Eng. Shahin noted that joint efforts were launched with Quyrwan Company to make the training courses available on the Internet to enable participants living in different areas across the Kingdom to watch the training sessions online, thus eliminating the need for them to come personally to the center.
