Speaking at a session held as part of "Tawasol:
Dialogue on Reality and Aspirations" forum held by the Crown Prince
Foundation, Crown Prince Al Hussein highlighted the need to hone the skills of
university and institute graduates, to enhance their sense of initiative,
adaptation, and flexibility.
At the forum, held at the King Hussein Business Park and
attended by Prime Minister Bisher Al-Khasawneh and Miss Rajwa Alseif, HRH urged having faith in Jordanians’ capabilities to achieve the nation’s
ambitions, which is a notion that His Majesty King Abdullah always highlights.
The Crown Prince noted that swift and efficient
implementation of political, economic, and administrative modernization will
positively impact youth empowerment.
HRH called for a transformation “in the way
we work, so we can work seriously and professionally in implementation and
follow up”, to capitalize on Jordan’s serious, quality plans for the way
forward.
“We must learn from the past, overcome our fears, and make a
qualitative leap in our performance,” the Crown Prince urged.
HRH attributed the failure in implementing
many past good plans that were set to serve the public to several factors,
including the bloated public sector, skepticism, or some officials’ fear for
their popularity.
The Crown Prince said that social and economic prosperity is
largely rooted in the transparency and efficiency of public institutions, and
the quality of services they provide to Jordanians.
On specialties that are no longer desirable in the labor
market, HRH said graduates of these specialties face the biggest
challenges in looking for job opportunities.
The Crown Prince urged youth to invest in specialties and
professions that are in demand in the labor market, and to let go of
preconceptions about certain professions, noting that young people have to keep
moving forward to avoid despair.
“Be bold for your future. Today, waiting for the opportunity
means missing it,” HRH told young Jordanians.
“Youth are responsible for their future, but their right to
empowerment is a responsibility that all sectors shoulder, foremost of which is
the public sector,” the Crown Prince continued.
“We owe it to ourselves to create a better reality, rethink
our wasted resources and capabilities, and put the right talent in the right
place,” HRH stressed.
“In our country, we have outstanding young capabilities, and
we always prove that Jordanians walk the talk,” the Crown Prince said.
HRH said Jordanians’ work ethics and
professionalism are recognized by Arabs and people around the world, especially
in the technical field, as well as in digital industries, entrepreneurship,
start-ups, pharmaceutical and food industries, sports, and tourism.
The Crown Prince said it is time Jordanian values were
reflected in Jordan’s academic, technical, and professional curricula, and
better applied in the educational and professional arenas.
The forum covered several topics that cover the aspirations
of young Jordanians in the fields of politics, economy, and business, in
addition to social, legal, education, media, and tourism areas.
The forum saw the participation of nearly 500 specialists
representing public, private, and other institutions, as well as various youth
entities.
A number of ministers and officials attended the session.
