The multi-week program provided intensive hands-on training delivered by a team of highly experienced Jordanian trainers.

They commended Jordanian expertise in designing and executing training courses, and praised the advanced facilities of the Quweismeh Institute, which contributed to enhancing their skills and practical knowledge.

As part of the program, the delegation conducted a field visit to the Jordanian Tractor and Equipment Company (Caterpillar), where they were introduced to the latest technologies and best practices in heavy machinery maintenance, linking theoretical learning to real-world industrial applications.

The program is expected to serve as a model for successful Arab cooperation in the vocational training sector and a platform for future joint efforts to enhance the competitiveness of technical personnel in regional labor markets.
