REACH2025: Jordan’s Digital Economy Action Plan
English
Governments
Governments hold a wealth of knowledge on skills development, and are increasingly realizing the value of learning from each others’ experiences. Their policy documents, programme evaluations, and research findings contain their experience and ideas on how to better link skills to employment
Anticipating and matching skills needs
Anticipating and building skills for the future is essential to a rapidly changing labour market. This applies to changes in the types and levels of skills needed as well as in occupational and technical areas. Effective methods to anticipate future skills needs and avoid potential mismatches include: sustained dialogue between employers and trainers, coordination across government institutions, labour market information systems, employment services and performance reviews of training institutions.
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.
REACH2025 Vision is to have a digital economy that empowers people, sectors and businesses to raise productivity and ensure growth and prosperity, creating a highly attractive business destination for investments and international partnerships.
REACH2025 Mission: Jordan will Ensure a highly stable, nurturing business environment. Drive creative and innovative technologies in key niche sectors and markets. Strengthen the entrepreneurial mindset of the country, supported by specialized skills. Support the transformation towards being a platform for innovation in international partnerships. Spur innovation through open access in technology, people, standards and data.
