German Energy Academy (GEA) Jordan

At COP27, the King of Jordan announced a 50 % renewable energy target by 2030. To achieve this, skilled workers with theoretical knowledge and practical experience to design, build, operate and maintain renewable energy and energy efficiency projects are needed. The German Energy Academy (GEA) Jordan should be established as an independent, regionally recognized and financially self-sufficient provider of training and further education on the energy transition. The project sets the basis for the GEA to act independently as a provider of practice-oriented and internationally accredited and certified qualifications for young people in Jordan. Collaborating with the private sector, it tailors training programmes according to the market needs, ensuring gender-responsive designs and safe learning environments for women. The project also supports the GEA to develop an outreach strategy and as well as e-learning formats to attract trainees from the region and allow a broader participation.
