Amman, August 2025: The College of Advanced Vocational Training in Jordan (CAVT) has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the National Center for Culture and Arts (NCCA), introducing specialized training programs that utilize theater techniques to enhance life skills for trainers and graduating students.

The partnership aims to empower participants by developing their skills in critical areas such as effective communication, critical thinking, teamwork and problem-solving through innovative strategies drawn from the performing arts. By fostering these essential competencies, the initiative is poised to bolster the preparedness of trainees for the job market, while unlocking their potential across a wide range of professional sectors.

The project also features the production of interactive theater performances that will tour schools, civil society organizations and vocational training centers, showcasing the importance of vocational work and its positive impact on development and the economy at large. This initiative falls under the ‘Skills for Success’ program, which is being implemented by the NCCA with the support of the Swiss Drosos Foundation over a period of three years (2025-2027). On Tuesday 12 August, 2025, the Sahab branch of CAVT hosted the graduation ceremony for the program’s first cohort of participants.

Commenting on the initiative, CAVT CEO, Eng. Ammar Gharaibeh, stated, “We take great pride in this partnership with the NCCA, as it enables us to offer a groundbreaking training experience that harnesses the power of theater to elevate important life skills. This agreement reflects our continued commitment to empowering young men and women, equipping them with the tools they need to succeed both professionally and personally.”

In turn, NCCA Director General, Lina Attel, remarked, “We are thrilled to partner with the CAVT to deliver training programs rooted in theater techniques – an approach that has proven highly effective in enhancing life skills and fostering individual growth in a creative and interactive manner. We firmly believe that this partnership will open up invaluable opportunities for trainers and graduates to hone their capabilities in an innovative and hands-on way.”
