Mindware signs Memorandum of Understanding with Faculté de Gestion et de Management – USJ in Lebanon

Mindware has expanded its learning partnership network with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Faculté de Gestion et de Management – USJ in Lebanon. The collaboration adds another leading university to Mindware Academy’s portfolio, fostering education, innovation and working towards bridging the skills’ gap in the region. The agreement was signed for Mindware by Toni Azzi, Vice President – Africa, Qatar & Levant.

Mindware Academy was launched in February 2023 in the UAE as an initiative designed to develop young talent and help combat the challenge of IT skills shortage in the Middle East. “More MoU’s have been signed with educational establishments and the first successful alumni of the programme are being placed in employment” said a Mindware spokesperson. “A student from the first Mindware Academy cohort was recently offered a permanent role at Mindware and is now part of the Solutions team.”

The Academy project is the brainchild of Philippe Jarre, CEO of Mindware, who believes that in a dynamic, ever-evolving tech industry, the minds of tomorrow need to be equipped to take on all its challenges. He advocates that there is no better way than to invest and train students in real world scenarios with practical experience that gives them the tools they need to be able to make a positive impact in the industry.

When the Academy project launched in February, Philippe Jarre talked about his hopes for the initiative: “We are excited to launch Mindware Academy and provide opportunities for the next generation of talent to learn and grow with our company. We believe this program will be beneficial for both, the interns as well as our organization, and we look forward to seeing the impact it will have. There is a skills gap in the region and this program aims to bridge that gap by providing young talent with the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on experience.”
