In the presence of Jordan’s Ambassador to Morocco, Jumana Ghunaimat, and Director-General of the Vocational Training Corporation, Dr. Ahmad Gharaibeh, Minister Al-Bakkaar met with Ms. Loubna Tricha, Director-General of the Vocational Training and Employment Promotion Office, to discuss aspects of joint cooperation in vocational training between the two brotherly countries.
Both sides agreed on the importance of exchanging experts and visits, as well as establishing institutional twinning between Morocco’s vocational training bodies and Jordan’s Vocational Training Corporation.
Minister Al-Bakkaar stressed that Morocco’s experience in vocational training is very rich, noting that the visit aims to benefit from Moroccan expertise and the achievements in this field. He expressed Jordan’s appreciation, at both government and popular levels, for the generous grant by His Majesty King Mohammed VI to establish a joint Jordanian-Moroccan vocational training institute in Jordan. He praised the cooperation of Morocco’s Minister of Economic Integration, Small Business, Employment and Skills, Mr. Younes Sekkouri.
He added that the Moroccan grant reflects the depth of historic fraternal ties between the two kingdoms, both of which stand as symbols of security and stability. He affirmed Jordan’s keenness to draw from Morocco’s experiences and studies on vocational training models and outcomes, especially amid new approaches that enhance women’s economic participation and the employment of persons with disabilities.
For her part, Ambassador Ghunaimat highlighted that such meetings align with the ongoing cooperation between the two brotherly countries, commending the efforts of Moroccan government institutions in enhancing the exchange of expertise in vocational training.
Meanwhile, Ms. Tricha welcomed cooperation with Jordan in the field of vocational training and confirmed preparations to establish a Jordanian-Moroccan institute in Jordan. She emphasized Morocco’s commitment to investing in human capital and addressing the emerging needs of the labor market.
Tricha further underlined the importance of joint collaboration while giving due consideration to the circumstances of women and persons with disabilities, empowering them to receive training and qualifications that enable them to enter the labor market, in addition to supporting youth in remote areas. She noted that Morocco also operates mobile vocational training units to serve rural and remote communities.
