Amman, July 19 (Petra) -- The King Abdullah II Fund for Development launched the "Steps for Practical Training" project to provide recent graduates with hands-on training opportunities and enhance their readiness to enter the labor market.
The initiative, implemented as part of the fund's efforts to invest in and empower Jordanian youth, offers practical training placements within the fund's development companies, allowing participants to gain professional experience and develop technical and workplace skills.
The project targets Jordanian graduates holding bachelor's degrees or academic diplomas who meet specific eligibility requirements, including being between 21 and 28 years old, having graduated within the past three years, being unemployed at the time of application, completing the application process, submitting required documents and passing a personal interview.
The project aligns with the objectives of the Economic Modernization Vision, which prioritizes youth empowerment, human capital development and bridging the gap between education outcomes and labor market requirements to enhance the competitiveness of Jordanian talent.
Director General of the King Abdullah II Fund for Development Samer Mufleh said the project reflects the fund's commitment to investing in youth by providing high-quality training opportunities that develop practical skills and improve graduates' employment prospects.
He added that the initiative is in line with the priorities of economic modernization and His Majesty King Abdullah II's vision of empowering young people and building qualified human capital capable of contributing to the Kingdom's development process.
Mufleh said the project also strengthens integration between the fund's programs and investments by enhancing participants' capabilities and providing them with practical knowledge and experience that support its development objectives.
The "Steps for Practical Training" project enables recent graduates to train in real work environments, apply academic knowledge, understand labor market needs and build experience that improves their prospects of securing quality employment.
The King Abdullah II Fund for Development continues to implement development programs focused on economic empowerment, sustainable development, modern technology, artificial intelligence and the digital economy, as it prepares its future strategy and strengthens its role in supporting economic, political and administrative modernization efforts in Jordan.
