In line with Sustainable Development Goal SDG 8, decent work and economic growth, the Jordanian government is committed to capitalising on its youth bulge and produce a skilled workforce capable of transforming the labour market and accelerating growth and development. Its Economic Modernisation Vision (launched in 2022) aims to strengthen and scale up Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), alongside strengthening and extending the economic sectors deemed critical to Jordan’s future (e.g. industry, information and communication technology (ICT), tourism, etc.) (Ministry of Education, 2022; Government of Jordan, 2022).
