2-Introduction

Recent statistics indicate that the number of people accessing the Internet exceeds

two billion four hundred thousand, i.e. 34% the world’s population (Internet World

Stats 2013). Moreover, one out of every seven people in the world has a Facebook

profile and nearly four in five Internet users visit social media sites. With the number

of Internet and social media users growing worldwide, it is essential for

communication managers to understand online people behavior. People around

world are increasingly using social media sites to search for information and turning

away from traditional media, such as television, radio, facebook, and Twitter. The

advent of social media has transformed traditional one-way communication into

multi-dimensional, two-way, peer-to-peer communication. Social media platforms

offer an opportunity for seeking jobs to interact with companis. The social Web is

changing traditional marketing communications. Traditional brand communications

that were previously controlled and administered by brand and marketing managers

are gradually being shaped by consumers.

Due to the significant of Social media the facebook page, Twitter and LinkIn is use in

right way to dissementate the project.

This Workshop came as a part of MoreThanAjob outcomes, to promote, launch and

discuss the project criteria with different local stakeholders. This workshop is

implemented by MutahUniversity in partnership with MPWH.

The workshop was conducted on 6th January-2020, at Royal Hotel (3rd circle-

6-1: Bookagri

BookAgri is a leading online platform in the agri-rural tourism business. Agritourism

is gaining popularity as a travel experience and is taking 24% of the global tourism

share in many countries experiencing rapid growth such as India, the MENA region,

Philippines and the Far East. BookAgri.com was established in July 2015 as a

platform for showcasing agri-rural tourism businesses and farm activities and

connecting the visitor with a range of agritourism experiences. This global website

helps shed light on the importance of agritourism and is open to related businesses

to register and gain access to the visitor market. By bringing this business to the

forefront of the global market we encourage self-employment, while helping people

develop a respect for nature. Agritourism helps farmers maintain their farms and stay

in the farming business by using their skills to produce authentic products and share

experiences with visitors as an added source of income. Once the farmer’s profiles

are on the website they will be accessible to those interested in BookAgri and its

agritourism business. BookAgri.com will reach millions of people across the globe

and hopefully change their lives in the process. Based in Amman, Jordan,

BookAgri.com will be linked to many agritourism agencies all over the world from this

very central location.






structures.

A new agri-tourism is being introduced to the Balqa governorate in Jordan, which

seeks to empower local villages and farmers. Visitors and tourists can tour local

farms, meet the farmers and take part in activities to learn about their culturally rich

yet simple lifestyle. Overnight stays are also available. Visitors can participate in any

of a number of farm-based activities, such as planting and harvesting crops, learning

how traditional ingredients are produced, trying local recipes, cooking, learning

crafts, and tasting the food products and local dishes. This tourism concept is

developed and implemented by Al-Marj, a nonprofit training and development

organization established in 2015 aimed at training local guides and farmers to better

present their local baskets of offerings and welcoming visitors and tourists from all

over the world. It is being supported by USAID BEST.

6-2: Applied Scientific Research Fund (ASRF)

ASRF is a non-profit organisation that was funded in 2011, located in Jubaiha,

Amman/Jordan that works on spreading the culture of innovation, creativity,

leadership, excellence, and entrepreneurship in the society. It aims to Support Arab

innovators and entrepreneurs in the Arab region who have innovative and

commercially applied ideas in the healthcare fields. It accomplishes this mission by

supporting the innovators in the healthcare sector through capacity building, funding

their projects, and providing them with the needed network.

On the other hand, it also supports students by building their capacities by providing

them with career counselling services, needed connections and networks that they

need to start-up their businesses and projects and different courses such as

technical and soft skills courses in order to motivate them to become innovators and

entrepreneurs and introduce them to the market before graduating or even to help

them choosing the right major to study before university depending on the market’s

needs. ASRF also works on supporting and sponsoring all educational, training, and

research activities that can lead to products that can be manufactured and

commercialized and provide excellent technical services for their development.

the university. The University endeavors to provide students with all the needed

facilities, support, and resources in order to produce well-educated and well-trained

graduates who are qualified and able to find appropriate employment within the

community. In response to the increasing number of graduates looking for careers

and job opportunities in local and international organizations, the university founded

the career Association. The mission of the Unit is to meet this demand by helping

graduates find suitable jobs either in the local or international market.

The University aims to strengthen ties with its career by remaining in contact with

students after they finish their studies. The university considers its students as

ambassadors to the associations where they work. In cooperation with local

associations and ministries, the Unit offers specialized, individual attention to

students in order to find them openings within these local organizations. By matching

graduates with the appropriate positions within local businesses and organizations

the Unit will perform two important functions: reducing the average of unemployment

within the graduate community while simultaneously providing these organizations

with well-qualified employees who will strengthen and raise the level of productivity

in the community. By establishing the career Unit, the University couples the latest

technologies and developments in this field with the individual care and attention to

students that has always been a pillar of the university's mission. Mutah might very

well be the first university in the Jordanian has established such a Unit. The Mission

of the Unit is communicating with Mutah graduates, especially those who are

unemployed, to train and assist them in finding job opportunities in and outside of

Jordan. The Unit fulfill this mission by communicating with companies and

associations at all levels and constructing comprehensive databases on various

related subjects that will be utilized by interested students, alumni and researchers.

Goals of the BSNB:

• Training the graduates and helping them to find job opportunities.

• Constructing a database.

• Communicating with graduated students.

• Communicating and coordinating with companies, associations, at local and

international levels in order to find positions for graduates.

• Organizing workshops and training courses focused on different fields in order

to improve graduates' skills and increase their competitiveness in the market.

6-4: Jordan Company for Antibody Production (MonoJo Biotech)

As the field of biotechnology continues to gain traction around the world, MonoJO is

at the forefront of biotechnological innovation in Jordan. A multi-functional

biotechnology platform that provides a wide range of research services and medical

innovations. MonoJO continues to provide biotech products and solutions to some of

mankind’s problems and create a positive impact on the lives of people. MonoJO’s

goal is to bring together a team of scientists and technicians, whose inspiration,

passion, and ideas were focused on creating innovative products, therapies, and

and one-of-a-kind company. Today, MonoJO has more than 20 employees in Jordan

alone, with an innovative product in global markets, and 3 others in the pipeline.

In 2007, MonoJO signed a MOU agreement for mutual collaboration with the Institute

of Biotechnology at the University Of Cambridge, represented by its Institute’s

Director and now member of MonoJO’s Board of Directors and Scientific Advisor,

Prof. Christopher Lowe. The company’s partnership with the Institute helped improve

the efficiency and effectiveness of MonoJO’s research, in addition to gaining

credibility and exposure in the Middle East. In 2010, Jordanian businessman and

entrepreneur (founder of MENA’s largest pharmaceutical company; Hikma

Pharmaceuticals) became one of the stakeholders and investor with a shared vision

and commitment to improve biotechnology and pharmaceutical research in the

region.
