Green skills promote energy shift and jobs in Jordan
With the increasing renewable energy projects in Jordan and their contribution to the electricity mix reaching approximately 27%, developing green skills becomes essential to meet the labor market demands in the sustainable energy sector. Studies, including one by the World Bank, indicate that the future of Jordan’s energy transition depends on the capacity of the education and training system to prepare a workforce with modern skills, encompassing technical specialties as well as non-technical skills such as communication, problem-solving, and project management. Education and training need to be realigned toward sectors like green hydrogen, energy storage, and energy efficiency, as these will generate quality job opportunities and contribute to economic growth. It is also crucial to strengthen partnerships between the public and private sectors and to upgrade curricula. Investing in green skills will enable Jordan to achieve its climate goals, enhance the competitiveness of local industries, reduce reliance on external expertise, and open new regional markets.
