(MENAFN - Jordan Times) AMMAN â In an effort to empower women in Jordan, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) has introduced a programme to train female fresh graduates in physical education and subsequently provide them with secure jobs in the field.
The ILO in Jordan works on developing decent work principles in gyms and sports facilities, said Reem Aslan, chief technical adviser of ILO s Decent Work for Women Programme in Jordan.
With the recent reopening of gyms and sports facilities following months of COVID-19-induced closure, the Women in Sports programme, which started in November 2020, aims at enabling dozens of female graduates and senior students to join these workplaces in April 2021, Aslan said.
