The GIZ Jordan Project "Digitalisation of TVET in Jordan” is seeking to hire an “Vocational Training and Labour Market Advisor – Focus: Digitalisation” for full-time base employment.

The “Digitilisation of TVET in Jordan” project is part of the TVET portfolio of GIZ Jordan, which aims to strengthen the quality and attractiveness of vocational education and training across the country.
