The DigiTVET project is an initiative within the German development cooperation programme "Vocational Education and Training in Jordan" aimed at enhancing Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Jordan through digital transformation. The project seeks to improve the accessibility, quality, and relevance of TVET in alignment with the demands of the modern labour market. The overarching goal is to empower the Jordanian Ministry of Education (MoE) and related stakeholders to adopt inclusive, labour market-oriented digital methods in vocational education. The project addresses critical challenges in the Jordanian TVET system, particularly the lack of structured governance and implementation capacities for high-quality digital vocational training. By leveraging insights from previous initiatives, DigiTVET aims to foster a cohesive approach to digital education, ensuring that methodologies are tailored to the needs of diverse target groups, including women and marginalized communities. Key objectives include the establishment of standardised procedures for integrating digital tools, standards and methods into the ministry, enhancing the competencies of educators and management staff, and developing inclusive digital teaching and learning offerings. By focusing on these areas, DigiTVET will contribute significantly to Jordan's 2030 Agenda, particularly in advancing sustainable economic development and inclusive education. The expected outcomes of the DigiTVET project include improved governance of digital vocational training, increased participation of disadvantaged groups, and the establishment of a robust framework for ongoing capacity development within the TVET sector. The module is structured into three outputs: Output 1 aims to develop procedures and structures that improve the use and integration of digital methods at MoE. Output 2 aims to support the development of digital competencies and skills of teachers and managers. Output 3 aims to support selected TVET providers to develop and pilot digital teaching and learning offers in cooperation with private sector and civil society partners, with a focus on disadvantaged groups and regions, including in particular BTEC graduates.
