Today, within its partnership with the Armenian universities, Orange
Foundation has hosted 100 students, with high academic performance,
from Yerevan, Gavar, Goris, Gyumri, Ijevan, Kapan, Vanadzor and
Yeghegnadzor Universities. The students were welcomed in the Orange
headquarters to receive scholarships granted by the Orange Foundation,
as well as participate in a special session on “How to choose a career
and succeed a job interview”, delivered by HR specialist of Orange
Armenia. A company tour took some of the students to discover the most
interesting back office spaces of the company, generally closed for
external view. During the meeting the students as well had a chance to
learn about the company and address their questions to the General
Director of Orange Armenia and Chairman of the Board of Orange
Foundation Francis Gelibter, who presented the challenges and the
advantages of an international telecom company, as well as the
principles of its socially responsible policy.

“It has become a nice tradition, and in the scope of the social
programs already 4 years Orange Foundation support students to get
higher education. Our objective is to ease the financial burden for
their families, and contribute to the further professional development
of the youth not only from Yerevan but as well regional universities.
We believe that at today’s session students will find the most
important keys to fully express their professional potential in
future” said Francis Gelibter, Chairman of the Board of Orange
Foundation.

Since the launch of the cooperation with the universities, established
in 2011, circa 200 students have passed their internships in Orange
Armenia. During this period Orange Foundation has granted
scholarships to more than 350 students.
