Amman: The Ministry of Youth has initiated the first phase of a series of training programs at youth centers nationwide. This effort is in collaboration with the Institute of Public Administration, Jordan Post Company, and Ammon Applied University College.
According to Jordan News Agency, the program package encompasses courses in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, digital marketing, e-commerce, and tourism facility management. This initiative is a response to royal directives and the government’s letter of designation, which stress the importance of youth empowerment and skill development. The initiative also follows insights gained from field visits by Prime Minister Jaafar Hassan and Minister of Youth Yazan Shdeifat, aimed at revitalizing youth centers and expanding their programming.
The training programs are designed to equip the youth with skills that meet labor market needs and future job trends, as well as advancements in technology. This aligns with the National Youth Strategy’s pillars, which focus on youth, education and technology, and youth entrepreneurship and economic empowerment.
