Careers in Aviation Program

The Careers in Aviation Program, funded by Boeing and implemented by Amideast in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth, embodies a participatory private sector approach to address the skills gap in Jordan's aviation sector while tackling the country's youth unemployment challenge. Launched in 2023, successive cycles to-date have benefited 180 young Jordanian men and women aged 18 to 35. The program addresses two critical challenges in Jordan: the skills mismatch for jobs required in the aviation sector and the high rate of youth unemployment.
