Amman, June 15 (Petra) -- The Amman Chamber of Commerce has launched the "Amman Chamber Training Academy Community" as part of efforts to deepen partnerships with institutions and companies supporting professional development and to promote a culture of continuous learning and investment in human capital.

Speaking at the launch ceremony, Second Vice President of the Chamber Bahjat Hamdan said investment in people remains the most sustainable and rewarding form of investment, noting that organizations that prioritize training and skills development are better equipped to adapt to changing business environments, address challenges and enhance their competitiveness.

Hamdan said the chamber has continued to develop its training academy into a specialized platform for knowledge transfer, capacity building and professional development through training programs aligned with labor market needs and rapid developments across administrative, financial, logistics, digital, technological and regulatory sectors.

He noted that the academy delivered 100 specialized training programs during the past year, in addition to 20 free awareness workshops focused on business-related legislation and regulations, particularly the national e-invoicing system.

The programs benefited approximately 2,000 participants, including members of the chamber, representatives of government institutions and members of local communities.

According to Hamdan, the academy has also served as a platform for dialogue and exchange of expertise, enabling more than 3,000 participants to engage directly with decision-makers, officials and specialists from various sectors.

He said the newly launched community represents a new phase in the academy's development by establishing a network of institutions that recognize the importance of professional development, workforce empowerment and continuous skills enhancement.

The initiative is expected to provide a structured platform for communication with businesses and institutions, allowing the academy to better understand training needs and develop programs that are more closely aligned with the requirements of the business sector.

Deputy Director General of the Chamber Bashar Moqbel presented an overview of the academy and the objectives of the new community initiative, highlighting its strategic vision, mechanisms for promoting investment in human capital and the benefits available to participating companies.

The event also included recognition of organizations and companies that recorded the highest participation rates in academy training programs during 2025 under platinum, gold and silver partnership categories.

Participants discussed ways to further strengthen cooperation between the academy and the private sector, with a focus on enhancing the effectiveness of training programs and ensuring closer alignment between workforce development initiatives and labor market demands.

The launch ceremony was attended by First Vice President of the Chamber Nabil Al-Khatib, Board Member Amjad Al-Sweilemeen, representatives of public and private sector institutions, academy partners and a number of trainees.
