Future Skill Demands in Jordan and Globally
The President of the German Jordanian University, Dr. Alaa Al-Din Al-Halahouli, emphasized the importance of aligning university specializations with the rapidly changing global and local labor market. He explained that fields related to technology and digital skills, such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and data science, are becoming increasingly important with the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Traditional majors need to be developed to enable graduates to effectively use modern tools. He stressed that choosing a university major should be based on future employment opportunities and the skills in demand. This is in light of Jordan's challenge of a gap between education outputs and labor market needs, with the goal of reducing unemployment and enhancing employment prospects.
