Decent Jobs for Jordanians and Syrian Refugees in the Manufacturing Sector

At the end of the project, manufacturing companies expanding their activities under the EU-Jordan trade agreement will employ at least 5,000 qualified Jordanians and Syrian refugees. This will be achieved by supporting the companies in the special economic zones to export and create jobs through improved information on the export process and stronger links to EU buyers facilitated by relevant embassies, the chamber of commerce and industry, JIC, IOE, ITUC and the Syrian and Jordanian diaspora in Europe. It will also prepare the Syrian and Jordanian workforce to take on these jobs, and by facilitating the matching of jobs and competencies.
