Darb
Your bridge to the professional world — Jordan's largest youth internship and employment readiness program since 2009.
The Path to Gainful Employment
Darb — Arabic for “path” — is LOYAC Jordan's flagship internship and employability program. It provides a structured bridge between education and the professional workplace by equipping youth with the essential soft skills, practical work experience, and community service commitment they need to thrive in Jordan's competitive job market.
Since its inception in 2009, Darb has partnered with over 450 leading institutions across the Kingdom to place thousands of young Jordanians in hands-on internship roles, transforming their career trajectories and contributions to society.
Darb In Numbers
Goals & Objectives
Darb is engineered with seven core pillars to holistically prepare youth for long-term career success.
How It Works
From application to employment — the four phases of the Darb journey.
Application & Selection
Each cycle, over 4,500 students aged 18–24 apply to join the Darb program. Through a competitive screening process, 1,200 are selected based on motivation, community orientation, and readiness for professional development.
Pre-Internship Training
Before entering the workplace, all participants undergo intensive workshops covering professional communication, business ethics, problem-solving frameworks, CV Building, and workplace etiquette — ensuring they arrive employer-ready.
The Internship
Participants are placed in 6–8 week internships at partner companies across diverse sectors. Each intern receives a weekly stipend of 30 JDs and is supervised by both an on-site mentor and a LOYAC program coordinator.
Community Service
Every Darb participant completes a mandatory 18 hours of community service, volunteering with local NGOs and municipal initiatives. This builds civic responsibility and strengthens the connection between personal success and social impact.
