Job training programme held at Al Hussein Technical University

AMMAN — Labour Minister Nidal Bataineh on Wednesday attended the launch of a job training programme titled “Path” at Al Hussein Technical University, sponsored by the British Council.

The initiative was developed by the British Council, the UK Sector Skills Council for Science, Engineering and Manufacturing Technologies and a group of pioneering Jordanian companies, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

During the launch, Bataineh stressed the importance of the programme in bridging the gap between theoretical learning and practical application, which enables students to be more efficient and effective in the work environment.

The programme, which is the “first of its kind in the Kingdom”, is set to have 20 student participants from various academic disciplines, Petra reported. British Council Deputy Director May Abu Hamdia hailed the programme as a “national success” since it is based on partnerships with national industries seeking to increase production and competition.
