International organizations

Information is gathered from other international organizations that promote skills development and the transition from education and training to work. The Interagency Group on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (IAG-TVET) was established in 2009 to share research findings, coordinate joint research endeavours, and improve collaboration among organizations working at the international and national levels.

Access to training

Access for all to good quality education, vocational training and workplace learning is a fundamental principle of social cohesion and economic growth. Some groups of people may require targeted attention if they are to benefit from education, training and employment opportunities.  

This is particularly the case for disadvantaged youth, lower skilled workers, people with disabilities, and people in rural communities. The attractiveness of vocational education and training is enhanced when combined with entrepreneurship training and when public policies encourage utilization of higher skills by business.

This report presents the findings of a study conducted between August and September 2013 across eight governorates to assess the status of Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Jordan, perceptions of TVET amongst employed and unemployed youth, students, as well as the business community. The study also attempted to measure the appeal of TVET as a potential career path, as well as a potential supply of labour, awareness and knowledge of training centres and offerings to both youth and business community, and how the latter can benefit from TVET.
