ESKADENIA Software participates in INJAZ’ Job Shadowing Programme
ESKADENIA Software, Amman, Jordan, March 2010
ESKADENIA Software received two students from the 9th and 10th grades from Jordanian public schools to “shadow” three business professionals at the company’s premises including a Senior Technical Writer, a Technical Team Leader, and a Software Developer. The goal of the programme is to allow students to experience a real-career day and to help them decide on their future career preferences.
Through their visit to ESKADENIA, students learned about relevance of schoolwork to their future career life, necessary workplace skills, teamwork, connection between learning and earning, and a general overview about their hosts of IT professionals. Each student was able to interview his ESKADENIA host, and from the day’s observations prepare a report on the staff, facilities, technologies and benefits within ESKADENIA.
The motivating program equipped the students with some career awareness and mentoring. In addition, the students were allowed to witness work procedures and methodologies in actual situations, which provided exposure to a challenging environment that is different from the classroom at school.
“ESKADENIA Software has been participating in the INJAZ Job Shadowing Programme for three years. It has been a pleasure to receive such special students in our offices and to have members of our staff provide them with a closer look at what real job and work environment are like in the ICT sector,” said Salam Fakhoury Human Resources Manager at ESKADENIA Software.
“We are very glad that we got the chance to participate in such a constructive program and be mentored by experienced professionals. We were introduced to the requirements for different professions, and now we have more knowledge on how to direct our high school studies into our future careers. We also learnt that we should concentrate more on the English language and computer skills as basic requirements for any employee”, said Karam and Mohammad, commenting on the experience with ESKADENIA Software.
