In Jordan, three main organisations are in charge of delivering vocational education and training (VET).

			Technical education and training are offered by community colleges under the aegis of Al-Balqa’ Applied University (BAU).
			Secondary vocational education is part of upper secondary education under the Ministry of Education (MoE).
			Non-formal and formal vocational training are delivered by the Vocational Training Corporation (VTC).

In addition, there is some private training through private community colleges, and some enterprise-based training sponsored by Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs).

Monitoring tools are currently being developed to allow strategic planning of the VET system.

Employment reform and the Technical Vocational Education amd Training (TVET) sector:

During the past two years, Jordan has taken significant steps to develop the employment technical vocational education and training (E-TVET) sector. The new approach and the framework for reform of the E-TVET sector were initiated by the National Agenda, which assigned a leadership role to the Ministry of Labour.

The newly structured E-TVET sector is responsible for contributing to the national effort to lead the country in the field of human resources development for the knowledge economy. The challenges faced by the E-TVET sector are many and varied. They include the need to enhance its social image and status and to upgrade the quality of training and its relevance to labour market requirements. There is also a need to increase employment and reduce Jordan’s dependency on expatriate labour.

A wide range of public and private stakeholders are participating in the reform of the E-TVET sector.  

They include:

			The Vocational Training Corporation
			The Ministry of Education, which runs the school system of vocational education
			Al-Balqa’ Applied University, which provides technical education in community colleges
			The Chambers of Industry and Trade
			Trade unions
			Employers' associations
			The TVET fund
			The National Centre for Human Resources Development
