The turnout for
the national program remains weak, he said, calling on Jordanian youth to
benefit from it because it provides secure and appropriate employment
opportunities with career paths.
Currently, the
ministry is implementing a complete overhaul of the vocational training system,
beginning in Irbid governorate, he said.
The move aims to
increase youth centers in various governorates to provide occupational
opportunities based on 80 percent virtual training and 20 percent face-to-face
training.
The vocational
training system identifies the Kingdom’s needs five years in advance, Steitieh
noted, and
HRH Crown Prince Hussein has stressed the need to focus on
developing vocational skills in the workforce.
This has
prompted the ministry to establish a designated center for the development and
approval of training materials and organized training programs in Jordan.
The ministry’s main
objective is to regulate the labor market and ensure that the Kingdom’s
regulations and laws are aligned with international labor laws. It also plays a
major role in reducing the poverty and unemployment, Steitieh said.
