@UnitedNationsJO Exhibit B: Fedaa, Sondos, Amal and 77 other young women the UN in Jordan have sponsored over the years. Your investment: 1/2 million USD. Lifetime return to local GDP: $400,000,000. That's a pretty good ROI given they support 500 family members. linkedin.com/posts/rebootka…

“I want to start my own company but it’s difficult to know where to begin.” As the Syria conflict marks its tenth-year #Syria10, refugees in Jordan speak out about their hardships and their hopes. Read more of Ammar's story here: jordan.un.org/en/122887-ten-…

@UnitedNationsJO @UNICEF @UNICEFJordan Interested in remediating 6 years of lost education in 6 months? @RBK can do. It's painful. It's $$$. But then what is the cost of one's future? Exhibit A: Moe docs.google.com/document/d/1iZ… Visualize 50,000 #refugee youth trained using #eXtreme_Learning. Visualize 3X

Nearly 1/3 of Syrian #refugee children in neighboring countries are out-of-school #Syria10 At @UNICEF supported Makani centers, youth like Mazen get tools to support #learning & help them reach their full potential 💻 Read Mazen's story 👇 jordan.un.org/en/141270-dete…

The #MENA region has one of the world’s highest level of #youth #unemployment.🇨🇭supports the countries in the region to improve the perspectives for young people e.g. in vocational training & job creation. Investing in youth means investing in the future #InternationalYouthDay

@BonniCrisfulli @sap4good @SAP @DS4Today Most devs with college degrees lack durable skills. There is massive evidence to support this. US, EU, India…doesn’t matter. It’s a world wide issue. techrepublic.com/google-amp/art…

@ReBootKAMP @sap4good @SAP @DS4Today Sorry, not all tech candidates are developers and are lacking in business/soft skills. Sad to see such stereotypes of American tech candidates. My original argument stands.

@BonniCrisfulli @sap4good @SAP @DS4Today Hardly shoo-ins. They cleared both the HR and tech bars. They were hired because they can do the job AND have NON-TECHNICAL chops 95% of US devs do not - self-awareness, resilience, intrinsic motivation and a dozen other durable skills.

@sap4good @ReBootKAMP @SAP @DS4Today How interesting that talented and qualified tech people in the US can't even land interviews with this firm much less be hired by them, yet refugees and H1bs from abroad continue to be provided shoo-ins for jobs.

Thanks @sap4good for today's webinar on the value of inclusive, diverse leadership. This is central to our mission!

@haddadmedia @SarahBrownUK @theirworld Imagine if you could remediate 6 years of lost learning in one year. Impossible? Ask Mohammad drive.google.com/file/d/1_KIgbr…

Refugee children are 5x more likely to be out of school, and #Covid19 has pushed them even further to the margins. That's why @Theirworld is committed to work with local orgs to give refugee children the education they deserve #RefugeeWeek @SarahBrownUK

@FeridBelhaj @Aymanmufleh @MOSD_JO @HollyBenner_wbg @SarojJha001 We have hundreds of tech firms begging for ground ready grads with strong durable skills. We have thousands of youth desperate for our training. Want to double Jordan's GDP in 5 years? Invest in durable skills training. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Reviewed today w/ H.E. .@Aymanmufleh #Jordan's social protection response to COVID19 crisis & poverty alleviation. The 2020-21 programs introduced by @MOSD_JO were critical to support poor/vulnerable households & workers via cash transfers, unemployment benefits & wage subsidies.

@WorldBankMENA @MoPIC_Jordan @WorldBank @FeridBelhaj @SarojJha001 @HollyBenner_wbg @MerzaHasan RBK enjoyed nearly 100% placement of graduates from its durable skills accelerator during the pandemic. This against the backdrop of skyrocketing unemployment and a crashing economy. How was this even possible?!? Ask Esraa: linkedin.com/posts/rebootka…

.@MoPIC_Jordan & the @WorldBank issued a joint statement today following the first World Bank senior-level delegation visit with VP @FeridBelhaj to #Jordan since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Read here: wrld.bg/BKwb50F7APZ

@jfarmer eXtreme Learning only works if there is delta in technical ability. So across the 1,000 hour program, half the time is spent growing non-techinical skills as the senior in the pair has to focus on communication, coaching, patience and other durable skills.

How is the "ahead" vs "behind" dichotomy reflected in your course? Your curriculum? The way you talk and act around students? How they talk and act around each other? Each instance adds a little disunity to the group. Replace it with something else and you'll be surprised.

Students being "ahead" or "behind" is the #1 false dichotomy in course design. Yes, every course has a "main road". For students chomping at the bit, push them towards the side streets and skyscrapers. When they return to the main road, have them share their new understanding.

@jfarmer For any given sprint, we have basic, advanced and nightmare requirements. Pairs must clear the basic bar but for those with masters degrees in CS, the nightmare requirement keeps them engaged until the deadline.

Every student does 1️⃣. If a student is energized by it, wants something harder, etc. then prompt them to do 2️⃣. Continue down the line until the student loses interest or it's time to move on. Will every student take this side street? No, and that's fine.

4 years at the university + 4 months at another full-stack "up-skilling" program and nothing. No job. No hope. No future. Just like the other 40K #unemployed ICT grads in #Jordan. Then she enrolled at RBK and BOOM 💥 Rana was hired within 2 months! linkedin.com/posts/rebootka…

Striking differences btw #Syrian #refugees living in #Jordan #cities vs. #camps: not only regarding #livelihoods, #health care, #education & #mobilities, but also in terms of embeddedness in #local, #translocal& #transnational networks. 👇check out latest insights of @TRAFIG_EU

Meet Youmna from Damascus, Syria. At 15, she fled with her family to Jordan to escape the war 🏃🏻‍♀️ She just completed RBK's durable skills training and is now employed as a software engineer for a US firm. Another @UN_Women and @sap4good success story. linkedin.com/posts/rebootka…
