Better Work Jordan and GAP Inc. collaboration in delivering P.A.C.E. in Jordan’s garment industry (pilot)

Better Work Jordan (BWJ) and GAP Inc. collaborate to deliver P.A.C.E (Personal Advancement and Career Enhancement) training to female garment workers (FGWs) in Jordan. The core objective of this collaboration is to contribute to the empowerment and skills development of female workers in Jordan’s garment industry. Beneficiaries of this six-month pilot will include Jordanian garment workers in satellite units and the larger garment industry. Specific objectives include increasing participants’ awareness, knowledge and skills specified topics. Other objectives include improvements in factory productivity. The training aims to benefit the participants as well as their communities in the long term. The pilot will also help Better Work Jordan and GAP, Inc. / P.A.C.E. to better customise the training modules to fit the Jordanian context, and explore ways to scale-up P.A.C.E. in Jordan’s garment industry in an effective and sustainable manner.
