Deadline: 20 December 2016
The U.S. Embassy in Amman is soliciting proposals for a project to connect professional female role models with Jordanian young people, to inspire, encourage and increase Jordanian female workplace participation.
The target audience of this project will be young female Jordanians who are best-placed to enter the job market as well as their male peers and family members.
This project will include the following:
- Speaker Series on University Campuses: In conjunction with 8-10 Jordanian universities, the speaker series will bring relatable Jordanian women with successful careers into university classrooms and auditoriums across the country to share their stories and address barriers to female workplace participation.
- Media Campaign: The female role models from the speaker series and the program itself will be highlighted across the social media platforms most popular with young, university women and their male peers.
- All-Day Workshop: The culminating event in this program will be an all-day workshop in Amman.
Objectives
- The first is to show young people in Jordan that women CAN and DO have fulfilling careers in Jordan by using the growing network of prominent Jordanian women who have gone on exchange and study programs to the U.S. as role models of this project, on university campuses and through a targeted media/social media campaign. Program activities should inspire and encourage young women to consider and seek to participate in the workforce.
- The second objective of the program is a measurable increase in program participant’s entry into the work force.
Funding Information
Estimated funding available for this project is ($80, 000).
