Employment promotion units to open at Irbid, Zarqa industry chambers

AMMAN — USAID on Monday signed memoranda of understanding with the Zarqa and Irbid chambers of industry, and the Eastern Amman Investors Industrial Association to establish employment promotion units (EPUs) through the USAID Jordan Workforce Development Project, according to a statement from the agency.
The establishment of the EPUs will fill a “critical gap” in linking Jordanians to locally available jobs, the statement said. As a public-private partnership, the EPUs will help employers identify and recruit trained Jordanians, the statement said.
“It is projected that the three EPUs will help facilitate job placement for over 7,500 Jordanians over the coming four years,” the statement quoted USAID Mission Director Jim Barnhart as saying.
