| Project Detail |
The hotel sector is the fifth largest contributor to GDP in Jordan, and is expected to grow by 5% between 2018-2025. This can not be achieved without an increase in qualified manpower on the different business related to customer-contact and services. The medical sector is one of the potential employers due to needs in terms of catering and maintenance services, and is considered a promising sector.
The main objective of this project is to provide better access to employment for 1200 young Syrians and Jordanians (50% of whom are women) who are out of school and unemployed. The fundamental principles include:
Involvement of the private sector and establishment of partnerships.
Enhanced orientation services with the training of 50 employment counselors and 10 trainers.
Quality technical and vocational training, and entrepreneurship training with 50 new start-ups entering the market.
