Amman, Some 1,536 holders of university degrees and diplomas as well as 3,385 general secondary education certificate holders have enrolled in Vocational Training Corporation (VTC) institutes across the Kingdom.

Three PhD holders, 31 master’s and diploma holders, 1,015 bachelor’s holders, and 487 community college diploma holders have enrolled in the VTC training programs, it said.

VTC Director General Ahmad Gharaibeh told Petra in an interview Monday that the Corporation continued to develop its training institutes and programs according to modern technology standards and future skills, especially those related to the “fourth industrial revolution and green economy growth.”

He said the institution’s strategy is based on full partnership with the private sector and the Kingdom’s chambers of industry to offer training opportunities for the employment of young Jordanian men and women nationwide.

Gharaibeh said the VTC is keen on creating centers of excellence in promising sectors that are needed in the local and international labor markets, as well as its interest in developing trainers’ skills in partnership with the private sector and donors, while paying attention to occupational safety and health.
