Taqaddam for Community Development Courses

Taqaddam for Community Development Courses

Taqaddam is an ongoing regional youth skills capacity building project (co-funded by BC and partners) that focuses on development of soft skills, and key life and employability skills. It is being implemented in eight countries across the region. This programme will give young people across the region skills for learning, skills for life and skills for work. 

We launched the first two workshops of Taqaddam here in Jordan for 12 teachers, principals and 104 students from 24 to 27 of September 2018. Six schools are taking part of Taqaddam programme this year, five schools are from Amman and one from Aqaba. The workshops helped participants to have a better understanding of the programme and helped students to boost their life skills.

Main Objectives

• To provide young people with an opportunity to develop personal skills and capabilities that will enable them to successfully transition from school into the next stage of their lives.
• To engage with young people in ways that build their confidence and enable them to develop as effective and responsible citizens, and also as successful lifelong learners.
• To raise the aspirations of young people in order to stimulate and increase their motivation to embrace change.
