Published purpose

The project aims to increase the economic benefits to youth (girls and boys) in Jordan, in the private sector in waged employment and self-employment. It accomplishes this by promoting more effective gender sensitive and sustainable education programs particularly vocational training programs, by delivering training to instructors at selected vocational schools and community colleges on business and soft skills, and on gender equality. The project also seeks to increase the participation of unemployed youth in the labour market, by training male and female students and graduates on business and entrepreneurship skills, and by organizing work placement programs and job fairs to increase access by youth to private sector employment and self-employment opportunities.
