SABER Workforce Development Jordan Country Report 2013
English
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.
Participation of employers' and workers' organizations
The world of learning and the world of work are separate but linked. While one involves learning, the other produces goods and services. Neither can thrive without the other. Strong partnerships between government, employers and workers help ensure the relevance of training to the changing needs of enterprises and labour markets.
Evaluation reports
Analytical assessments of technical cooperation programmes and national skills and employment policies, identifying success factors of different interventions in response to particular challenges in different circumstances.
Research papers
Working papers, reports, and other publications from international organizations, academic institutions and bilateral agencies. Research findings to stimulate informed debate on skills, employment and productivity issues.
Jordan reveals the weaknesses and gaps in specific
aspects of policies, whereby strategies, institutions
and service delivery fall short of what might be
characterized as global good practice. The various
underlying problems are well understood, yet there
is a lack of consistency in addressing them through
an integrated approach that: (a) examines the
institutional landscape and policies that influence
skills supply and demand such as the government’s
economic policies (including wage, tax, trade and
spending policies), education policies and labor
policies, as well as the external factors and global
trends such as demographic changes, globalization
and technological advances, urbanization, and
climate change; (b) coordinates the implementation
of appropriate policy responses through a unified
vision; and (c) monitors progress on reform.The
results reveal how the lack of an integrated approach
and clear leadership result in disconnect between
economic development priorities and WfD agenda.
