Impact Stories: Youth Narratives of Change
Our Impact Story this month was all about friendship and mutual support on the workplace.?On top of ambition, knowledge, and a strong willingness to find their well-earned spot in the job market, two young women - Amal and Iman - found in Webhelp - CFYE Implementing Partner from Jordan - an enabling environment where their diverse personalities and skills could blossom, and where their strong bond could empower them to achieve everything they dreamed of.
Through friendship and mutual support, the two young women felt empowered to navigate common challenges and showed the kind of work environments new generations can shape. Less competition, and more cooperation, to allow everyone to pursue their dreams and preferred career paths.
