Project profile — Human Resources Development Services

This initiative aims to improve the collection, analysis, and dissemination of labour market information in order to contribute to making the Jordanian workplace more transparent. The project's purpose is to ensure that labour market decision-making by institutions, employers and prospective employees (men and women) are made on the basis of comprehensive, timely, and regularly updated gender-sensitive information systems, that are supported by continuous technical and internet-based services.

Results achieved as of the end of the project include: The establishment of a Human Resources Information system, which will be the basis for good, evidence-based decision-making by the Government of Jordan. The Electronic Labour Exchange system, which provides electronic employment services by linking employers with job seekers, was franchised to a digital private sector employment agency. The Professional Career Counselling component has ensured the strategic coordination of career counselling programs at the national level, through a Career Guidance Working Group, which was established by the project. In addition, career-related resources and manuals were developed, and are supporting higher education institutions, counsellors, and students, online and through 12 career counselling centers in universities around the Kingdom of Jordan.
