Amman, July 1 – The Labor and Social Development Committee in the Senate, headed by Senator Issa Murad, visited the Jordan Post Company today, Tuesday. During the visit, the committee met with the company’s Chairman of the Board, Sami Al-Dawood, and its Director, Hanadi Al-Tayyeb, and was briefed on the company’s training and qualification plans within employment programs.
Senator Murad stated that the visit aimed to review the training plans and programs offered by the company’s International Academy in the fields of e-commerce and logistics, related to vocational and technical education, and to explore the company’s role in implementing national visions on empowering youth and providing sustainable job opportunities in the logistics services sector.
He added that the visit also sought to identify the challenges and obstacles facing the company in implementing training and employment programs and to discuss ways of supporting the company in line with the Senate’s legislative and oversight roles, appreciating the efforts made by the company.
For his part, Al-Dawood noted that Jordan Post is one of the state’s major achievements and key infrastructure projects, adding that the meeting represented a fruitful opportunity to enhance the company’s work and cooperation with the Senate’s Labor and Social Development Committee.
He reviewed completed plans and programs, including the e-commerce and express shipping customs center project. He pointed out that the company, in cooperation with the Crown Prince Foundation, launched a training initiative to empower youth in e-marketing.
Al-Dawood noted that the company introduced a package of training programs in cooperation with the Institute of Public Administration in the field of e-commerce, and established an International Academy for E-commerce, granting diplomas in e-commerce and logistics.
He confirmed that the program is available to those wishing to train and qualify, targeting both youth and women, and works to ease obstacles through logistics services provided by the company.
