The development objective of the Employer Driven Skills Development Project for Jordan is to realign policy formulation with employment, technical and vocational education and training (E-TVET) operational mechanisms through the development of employers' participation in: (i) sector policy formulation: (ii) institutional development and reform; and (iii) skill development program design and delivery. The project will implement the following activities: (i) effective participation of the employers in the planned E-TVET Council through broad capacity building; (ii) increased interaction of employers in skill development through their active role in occupational profiling, definition of related competences, program design and delivery, and certification; (iii) turning the Training Employment Fund into an efficient mechanism for effective use of the financial resources, with active role of employers; and (iv) creating the conditions for increasing the relevance and quality of the TVET, especially at the level of Vocational Training Corporation (VTC) by restructuring the VTC into a new skills development agency operating on a new business and training delivery model. From the perspective of the beneficiaries, the focus is on increased employability through increased relevance of qualifications. At the policy and system management level, the development issue is to establish a functional dialogue between the Government and other public entities, training providers and the employers, and to make this dialogue effective and result-oriented.
