Amman: The College of Advanced Vocational Training (CAVT) has partnered with the Emirati Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation to provide 455 scholarships for vocational students this year.
According to Jordan News Agency, the initiative supports two training cohorts across CAVT campuses and covers specialized programs that combine classroom instruction with hands-on practice. The aim is to boost youth employment and foster regional economic development. This effort is part of an initiative by the Crown Prince Foundation, supported by Germany through the KfW Development Bank, focusing on closing the skill gap in the region.
CAVT CEO Ammar Gharaibeh highlighted the importance of these scholarships in widening access to technical training, expanding future horizons, and equipping a qualified workforce to meet the evolving market needs across the Kingdom. The partnership aligns with national efforts to enhance youth economic participation by modernizing Jordan's technical and vocational education system.
Both non-profit organizations are committed to expanding access to high-quality, market-aligned education. This collaboration is designed to help young people gain practical skills and build sustainable careers, contributing significantly to the Kingdom's economic landscape.
