the education and health sectors.

employment unit in the industrial sector on Monday, established by the Amman
Chamber of Industry in collaboration with the
German International Cooperation Agency (GIZ) and the Jordan Industry 4.0 & Digitalization Innovation
Center, funded by the EU, Shamali emphasized the government's commitment to
genuine partnerships with the private sector to
meet employment needs.

the necessary qualified workforce for factories and connect job seekers,
following their training, with available opportunities in small, medium, and
large factories.
This unit will help serve employers
to reach more efficient and effective Jordanian workers and contribute to
reducing unemployment in society by providing suitable and sustainable job
opportunities, reported the Jordan News Agency, Petra.

address unemploymentAlexander Monden, head of GIZ's

from one of the lowest rates of female participation in the labor market and
that the unit can contribute to solving this problem, which will benefit the
economy and society.
