About Us
Welcome Message from Carol Jenkins
World Learning believes that the best hope for peace, justice, and sustainability lies in bringing people together. Through cultural immersion, experiential learning, and information sharing, our programs equip others to collaboratively address the most pressing issues of our time.
Throughout my years at World Learning, I have had the fortunate opportunity to meet with many of our participants, partners, and alumni—a global network of learners. Our programs help them understand other cultures, master new skills, and cultivate networks. Our teaching and training methodologies empower them to find locally relevant, sustainable, and implementable solutions. Our approaches emphasize flexibility and adaptability that help them tackle real-world problems.
They, in turn, make extraordinary changes in their lives and communities.
Please join us—and those we work with and serve around the world—in our pursuit to create a brighter and better future for all.

Program Description
WE Can Code increased the interest and ability of disadvantaged youth in Jordan, particularly young women, to pursue advanced training and ultimately find or create employment in Jordan’s growing ICT sectors.
The program connected 80 disadvantaged youth aged 16-17 with U.S. women IT professionals and Jordanian mentors working in ICT fields for a four-month women’s economic empowerment and career mentorship program. The program aimed to build professional and technical skills and promote women’s participation in ICT careers. Through these professional connections, Jordanian women and U.S. women working in the ICT-related sectors provided their personal experiences and learnings from their careers, while sharing insights from efforts to promote women’s empowerment within IT in the U.S. and Jordan, promote professional values and skills, and highlight job opportunities within Jordan’s ICT sectors.
