Jordan’s Ministry of Labor and Aqaba University Hospital signed an agreement on October 6 to create 100 jobs for Jordanians in the southern governorates. Petra reported that roles cover healthcare, technical, administrative and support work, with candidates recruited through the Sajjil employment platform.

The National Employment Program will subsidize wages for six months. The hospital committed to hiring and training participants, providing Social Security coverage and retaining them after the subsidy period. Preparation consists of six months: three months of classroom instruction followed by three months of practical training. The source gives no total subsidy budget and does not say hiring is complete; 100 is the targeted position count, while retention is the hospital’s commitment.
