In support of Jordan’s national digital transformation and employment strategy, the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship (MoDEE), through the Youth, Technology, and Jobs (YTJ) Project, is collaborating with UniHouse to deploy Ostathi Jordan, a national platform dedicated to digital skills development and employment readiness.
This initiative contributes to national efforts to strengthen digital capabilities, reduce unemployment, and expand participation in emerging gig economies by equipping beneficiaries with practical, income-generating skills aligned with labor-market demand.
Ostathi Jordan: A Scalable Digital Skills Ecosystem
Developed by UniHouse,
Ostathi operates as a scalable learning ecosystem that provides structured pathways for beneficiaries to acquire in-demand digital and professional skills. The platform focuses on:
- Digital and technology skills for regional and international labor market demand
- Freelancing and gig economy readiness for flexible income opportunities
- Entrepreneurship and micro-enterprise development to foster innovation and self-employment
- Professional and vocational upskilling aligned with Jordan’s evolving economic needs
Through this approach, Ostathi bridges the gap between education and practical economic participation, ensuring learners are prepared to generate real income and contribute meaningfully to both household and national economic resilience.
Inclusive and Targeted Skills Development
The initiative emphasizes inclusive access, prioritizing groups that face systemic barriers to employment:
- Youth and first-time job seekers
- Women and under-represented groups
- Unemployed and underemployed individuals
- Aspiring entrepreneurs and gig economy participants
By focusing on practical, income-generating skills rather than short-term outputs, the program aligns with Jordan’s long-term strategy for human capital development and economic modernization.
Leveraging Technology for Learning and Growth
Ostathi Jordan is powered by advanced cloud and artificial intelligence technologies supported by Microsoft, enabling:
- Adaptive and multilingual learning experiences
- Scalable access for learners, instructors, and consultants
- Secure and reliable infrastructure for nationwide deployment
The technological backbone ensures that the platform can deliver high-quality education and training at scale while maintaining alignment with international capacity-building standards.
Driving Jordan’s Future-Ready Workforce
Through the collaboration between MoDEE, YTJ, and UniHouse, Ostathi Jordan represents a strategic fusion of government leadership, private-sector innovation, and digital infrastructure, supporting the country’s ambition to strengthen digital competitiveness, expand entrepreneurship, and accelerate technology-enabled economic growth.
