Amman, May 21 (Petra) – The Vocational Training Corporation (VTC) has
launched a series of introductory seminars under the “Isna’ (Create)”
professional entrepreneurship project within the “Azm
(Determination)” program, aimed at strengthening youth economic
empowerment and expanding self-employment opportunities.

According to a VTC statement issued Thursday, the initiative seeks to
promote vocational entrepreneurship by encouraging young people to
transform technical and vocational skills into sustainable
income-generating ventures that support freelance and self-employment
pathways. The project is implemented in partnership with the Business
Development Center (BDC) and with support from the United Nations
Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

The seminars drew more than 350 young participants from across the
Kingdom. The southern session in Karak attracted over 120 attendees,
while the central session in Zarqa recorded the participation of 150
young men and women. The northern session, held in Irbid Industrial
City, also saw wide participation from youth interested in vocational
entrepreneurship.

The sessions introduced the project’s objectives, registration
procedures, and training components, including entrepreneurship,
project management, marketing, and financial management skills. The
program aims to equip participants with the practical and
administrative competencies needed to establish and sustain small
enterprises in line with labor market requirements.

The VTC said the project forms part of its broader efforts to
increase youth participation in the economy and enhance labor market
readiness by strengthening vocational and entrepreneurial skills and
creating pathways for business development.

It added that the initiative targets vocational training graduates
aged 18 to 24 who are currently practicing technical professions, in
addition to trainees expected to graduate in the near future.
