Akhtaboot – The Career Network announced its sponsorship and participation in the first Corporate Social Responsibility Conference, which was organized by Excellence Inc. in cooperation with the Investment Unit / Social Security Corporation and the Greater Amman Municipality as main sponsor along with Akhtaboot – The Career Network, NAFES, USAID and IMC Jordan as main supporters.
The Conference was held on April 28th, at the Sheraton Hotel Amman and was attended by representatives from the Private and Public sectors, Civil Society organizations as well as Quasi-governmental sectors.
The main aim of the conference was to explore the role played by organizations in both the public and private sectors in order to contribute to the development of the society and to encompass social and environmental concerns, taking into consideration the 3 axes defined by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, namely; economic growth, social progress and environmental protection.
Akhtaboot’s participation in this conference aims at reinforcing Akhtaboot’s social role it plays within the community which has been highlighted with the launch of the “Akhtaboot Cares Initiative” earlier this year.
The “Akhtaboot Cares Initiative” is a comprehensive plan that was developed through partnerships with a number of third parties and educational institutions such as the University of Jordan, Princess Sumaya University for Technology (PSUT), Philadelphia University, Sight & Sound Educational Center, AIESEC Jordan, Pioneers Tech Soft and Al-Aman Fund for the Future of Orphans, in which Akhtaboot maintains an ongoing presence in Jordan’s educational institutions, through developing and executing specific training programs that are tailor-made to educate graduates-to-be on how to approach the job market and to smooth their transition into the professional world.
