Zyoud underlined that the National Aid Fund is funding more than 2,000 of these
contracts, and that the MoL is restructuring the program to ensure its
continuation in the current and next years, Khaberni reported.
The National Employment Program intends to provide Jordanians aged 18 to 40
with 60,000
private-sector job opportunities. It is based on private sector
demand in all economic sectors and activities throughout the kingdom's
governorates.
The initiative provides financial incentives for six months per worker,
totaling JD150.
JD130 for salary support
JD10 for social security subscription support
JD10 for transportation
Companies
that sign contracts to hire program beneficiaries must be legally registered,
licensed, and social security-affiliated.
Educational requirements are not required of program beneficiaries. The program
is open to all Jordanians from all governorates, and applicants must submit CVs
and supporting documentation confirming their competency to potential
employers.
The
National Employment Program is a government initiative that aligns with the
Economic Modernization Vision (EMV). It seeks to encourage the private sector
to generate job possibilities for Jordanian youth. Notably, 35 percent of the
program's participants are women and National Aid Fund users.
