Empowering young people to effectively develop and transform their skills and preferences into employment.

Our Story
LOYAC was established in 2008 as a grassroots social enterprise run by volunteer women, who leveraged their connections to create summer jobs and internship opportunities for youth in Jordan to help prepare them for the job market after they graduate.
Since then, LOYAC Jordan has grown into a leading youth empowerment organization, training over 21,000 young people and placing more than 17,000 in internships. Our matrix of programs provides diverse skills training and internships in the private sector for students and fresh graduates.
