Transforming Vocational Education in Palestine and Jordan

The Palestine-Jordan Dual Vocational Education and Training (PJDVET) project is a strategic initiative co-funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ programme. It aims to develop and implement a sustainable Dual VET model tailored to the educational and labor market needs of Palestine and Jordan.

Inspired by successful European systems—particularly the German Dual VET model—PJDVET introduces a balanced approach that integrates academic instruction with structured, hands-on training in real work environments. This dual system enhances employability, bridges the gap between education and industry, and prepares youth for meaningful careers.

Key Objectives

• Develop a two-year diploma program aligned with EQF Level 5
• Customize curricula to local contexts while maintaining international standards
• Train VET staff through mobility visits and capacity-building workshops
• Engage stakeholders including ministries, accreditation bodies, and employers
• Disseminate tools, strategies, and policy recommendations for long-term impact

PJDVET is more than a reform project—it’s a collaborative effort to redefine vocational education as a dynamic, inclusive, and future-ready pathway for youth across the region.
