His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II on Monday affirmed the important role of the ICT sector in job creation.

During a visit to Webhelp, a company that specialises in technical consultancy, Crown Prince Al Hussein noted the firm’s contributions to creating job opportunities for youth during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis.

His Royal Highness called for investing in Jordan’s successful management of the COVID-19 crisis over the past phase, to create job opportunities for young Jordanians, especially in providing technical consultancy and digital outsourcing services.

The Crown Prince, accompanied by Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship Mothanna Gharaibeh, was briefed on operations at the company, which opened its Jordan office last year, starting with 100 employees, and the number rose to 211 employees from around Jordan, as demand for services increased due to the COVID-19 crisis.
