In light of the continuous efforts to empower Jordanian youth and equip them with the skills of the digital age, the "Tareeqi" project emerges as one of the King Abdullah II Fund for Development (KAFD) initiatives that contributes to enhancing the competitive advantage of Jordanian youth and increasing their employability within promising sectors required by the local and global labor market.
The project is not limited to providing life and technical training; it extends to form a true incubator that builds confidence, refines skills, and establishes a conscious partnership with the rapidly changing requirements of the labor market.
From the heart of this project, participants and beneficiaries share their journey stories; where a group of young women and men step confidently toward the future, transforming passion into skills and challenges into inspiring success stories.
Among the inspiring success stories told by Jordan's youth, Mohammad Jihad Al-Wahsh, a beneficiary of the "Tareeqi" project in the Quality Assurance (QA) sector, stands out, embodying a true transformation story from university classrooms to the labor market.
Al-Wahsh describes his experience as highly fruitful and practical. After graduating from university, he applied to join the project, which is one of the initiatives under the King Abdullah II Fund for Development, in strategic partnership with The Prince's Trust International and through the Business Development Center (BDC) since 2015. After his application was accepted, the journey of sessions and lectures began, covering multiple aspects including ethical and social dimensions alongside
the technical aspect.
He adds that he acquired numerous skills that helped refine his professional personality, such as how to deal with others, time management, and working within a team in a professional environment.
He points out that his career path was not clear at the beginning, but joining the course helped him define his future destination and clearly map out his path in the labor market.
Regarding the fruits of this experience, Al-Wahsh explains that he was able to secure a job opportunity in the Quality Assurance sector about a year ago, emphasizing that the (QA) field goes beyond purely technical boundaries; it involves analyzing personalities, analyzing applications and websites, and understanding how to deal with customers, given the sensitivity and importance of this role within companies.
Al-Wahsh concludes by offering sincere advice to young men and women not to miss opportunities to apply for projects offered by the King Abdullah II Fund for Development, due to their real impact in shaping the future.
In the same context, Bayan Khalil Salim Al-Qatanani, one of the beneficiaries of the "Tareeqi" project in the Quality Assurance sector, shares her experience, which she described as extremely beneficial on both personal and technical levels, noting that it helped her understand the labor market more broadly and deeply.
Al-Qatanani adds that at the beginning of her journey, she was a very enthusiastic person, and over time, she learned that this enthusiasm must be linked to boundaries and an appropriate way of dealing with challenges.
She continues that she learned more about the Quality Assurance (QA) field and benefited greatly in terms of cooperation, teamwork, and how to interact with the team.
She explains that the most notable difference was that she began to view things from multiple perspectives, which helped her define her career path more clearly and identify what suits her abilities and potential, confirming that the experience contributed significantly to increasing her self-confidence and will be a strength that benefits her in the coming stages of her professional and practical life.
Al-Qatanani concludes by inviting all young men and women not to reject any opportunity that comes their way, emphasizing the importance of continuous striving and never stopping the pursuit of progress.
