Amman, Jordan — Amideast/Jordan has announced the signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Joramco, the Amman-based maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) provider and the engineering arm of Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE). This strategic partnership establishes a framework for collaboration under the "Careers in Aviation" program, a vital initiative aimed at empowering Jordanian youth through specialized training and direct engagement with the relevant sectors.

The MoU was formalized by Nour Alrasheed, Country Director of Amideast, and Fraser Currie, Chief Executive Officer of Joramco, taking place on 10th of July, 2025 at Joramco’s headquarters.

Under the partnership, Amideast will provide comprehensive training to 60 youth participants, focusing on essential English language proficiency, critical soft skills, and digital literacy. This training is supported by Boeing and implemented in close cooperation with the Ministry of Youth, highlighting a multi-stakeholder commitment to youth empowerment.

Meanwhile, Joramco will play a pivotal role in supporting the "Careers in Aviation" program by sharing its industry expertise, reviewing Amideast’s training programs, and facilitating speaker sessions for the participants. Crucially, the MRO company aims to support the participants' career development by assisting in the hiring process, with a strong commitment to facilitating and securing employment of successful program graduates directly within Joramco.

Commenting on this significant partnership, Fraser Currie said, “This partnership marks a cornerstone in our commitment to cultivating the next generation of aviation professionals in Jordan. By combining Amideast’s proven expertise in youth development with Joramco’s deep industry knowledge and employment opportunities, we are contributing directly to the growth and dynamism of Jordan's MRO sector.”

Beyond the immediate scope of the "Careers in Aviation" program, this MOU also lays the groundwork for broader collaboration between Joramco and Amideast, allowing both parties to explore further areas of mutual interest, particularly in corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and comprehensive workforce development programs.
