So far, only 750 private sector businesses have
registered with the program, whose goal is to create employment opportunities
for 60,000 Jordanians by offering monetary incentives to employers.
The program was launched by the
Ministry of Labor in
April, following an awareness media campaign that targeted private sector
institutions through 2,000 site visits and 73 workshops.
Meanwhile, Minister of Labor Nayef Stetieh and
Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Petra Development and Tourism Region
Authority (PDTRA) Suliman Farajat signed a memorandum of understanding on
Sunday as part of the program, Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
Stetieh reaffirmed the ministry’s commitment to
working with PDTRA, pointing out that cooperation will improve job prospects
for Petra’s community members in the local economy and tourism sector.
Through the Tashgheel program, the ministry will
contribute JD150 to the monthly salaries of new employees for six months,
beginning with the date of their registration with the
Social Security Corporation, as well as cover their training costs.
Farajat said that PDTRA will provide a sum of money to 200
employees for six months, over and above the ministry’s JD150 monthly support.
