What this guide is for
Your organization launches a PPP program to build, equip and run training centers as public-private partnerships (PPPs) and to train the workforce the projects need.
The case
Training providers prepare the people who build and run the pipeline
Training centers and workshops are part of the infrastructure every country rebuilds, and governments in many countries build, equip and run them with private partners under long-term contracts. Every project of the next fifty years will need welders, electricians, operators and technicians trained for machines and software that are only now arriving. This guide invites vocational training providers in Jordan to launch a PPP program, starting with the projects at home.
The guide
Train the workforce of the $500 trillion PPP opportunity
Your organization opens a dedicated PPP program, a team and a set of offers that build, equip and run training centers with government and industry partners, starting with Jordan’s $86 billion of projects and the $46 billion anchored in Aqaba.
01
A PPP training team
A dedicated team that knows how PPPs are prepared, procured and paid follows every project in the pipeline from the first market sounding, finds the trades each one will hire and joins consortiums as their training partner while the projects are still being shaped.
02
Training centers built, equipped and run
New and refurbished training centers can be delivered as PPPs in which the provider designs, finances, equips and maintains the workshops and runs the courses, paid through availability payments and fees tied to the trainees it certifies and places in work.
03
Training inside every concession
Every project in the pipeline needs welders, electricians, machine operators, drone pilots and data technicians. The provider writes the training plan into each concession, so the operator hires and develops local people from its first day and reports the results to government.
04
Accredited courses
Jordan’s Technical and Vocational Skills Development Commission, set up under Law No. 9 of 2019, accredits and licenses training providers. The program packages accredited courses for each trade a project needs, so its graduates carry qualifications that employers and contracting authorities recognize.
05
Small-scale PPPs and direct proposals
Jordan’s PPP Regulation No. 9 of 2024 defines small-scale PPPs below $14.1 million, which can be bundled into one feasibility report and one tender, and PPP Law No. 19 of 2023 accepts direct private proposals under Article 15. Your organization can propose a workshop, a training center or a mobile training fleet and bundle similar sites into one tender.
Why vocational training providers
Training providers prepare the people who build and run the pipeline
Training centers are long-lived public assets that must be built, equipped, maintained and kept up to date for decades, which is the work a PPP pays for. Training providers already run workshops, courses and apprenticeships, and they know what each trainee costs to train and place.
Where training providers fit in a PPP
- Training centers
- New and refurbished centers designed, financed, equipped and maintained under long-term availability contracts.
- Trades
- Accredited courses for welders, electricians, operators and technicians, built with the employers that will hire them.
- Concessions
- Training plans written into other PPPs, so each operator hires and develops local people from its first day.
- Simulators
- Simulators, connected workshops and learning platforms supplied to public centers as a service.
- Placement
- Job matching and apprenticeships that place each graduate with a contractor or operator in the pipeline.
What changes for training providers
AI, robotics and tokenization change what workers need to learn and how training centers are run. AI tutors and simulators adapt each course to the trainee, robots and drones become subjects and workshop tools, and sensors keep each workshop safe and ready. Tokenized stakes then let employers, alumni and regional investors own part of the training centers in their communities.
Why a program, and why now
A training provider that waits for each tender bids for one center or one course at a time. A program gives it a team, a delivery model and standard terms, so it can bring training centers to government as its own proposals and join other consortiums as their training partner. Jordan’s pipeline is large and early, and the providers that train its workforce now will shape the skills its projects run on for decades.
Futureproofing
Futureproof Vocational Training Providers in Jordan for the infrastructure singularity
This free 17-page guide shows how, with small PPPs in parallel, PPP research labs, artificial intelligence, robotics, tokenization and six first steps.
Jordan and Aqaba
An $86 billion pipeline to start with
Every one of them will need people trained to build, operate and maintain it, and the industries around them will need a steady flow of skilled workers. A Jordanian training provider that builds and runs one training center at home can carry the same model to the next one across the region.

- of PPP and infrastructure projects in development in Jordan
- $46B
- of them anchored in Aqaba
Artificial intelligence
AI changes how a training center teaches and how it is run. Tutoring and assessment tools adapt each course to the trainee, simulators let students practice on equipment before they touch it, and the same models match graduates to the jobs each project is about to open. A provider that runs them under a PPP can show government, with data, what each course delivers.
Robotics
Robotics gives a training center a new curriculum and a new kind of workshop. Trainees learn to operate and repair drones, construction robots, inspection crawlers and automated equipment, the machines that will build and maintain Jordan’s projects, and modular construction lets the provider add workshops quickly where demand grows.
Tokenization
A training center under a PPP earns steady availability payments over a long contract, the kind of revenue a token represents well. A training provider can offer tokenized stakes in the centers it runs to employers, alumni, the diaspora and regional investors, pay holders as the payments arrive and publish each center’s results to the same registry.
Small PPPs and research labs
Small PPPs suit training well, because a workshop, a simulator lab or a mobile training unit can be set up within months and measured from the first intake. A training provider can run lab pilots across many centers at once, test new courses and teaching tools and carry the best results into its larger bids.
Unsolicited proposals
A training provider knows which trades employers cannot find and where young people lack a route into work. A direct proposal lets it turn that knowledge into a project of its own design, such as a training center for a growing industry or a mobile workshop network, and keep the right to match the best offer if the project goes to tender.
The program
How the program could work
The program can sit inside the provider’s training business, with a PPP lead at its center and the workshops, trainers and courses the provider already runs behind it.
- PPP team
- A small team of training, development, finance and legal people that covers every training need in the pipeline.
- Training centers
- Centers delivered as PPPs, with buildings, equipment, maintenance and courses priced for the whole contract.
- Courses
- Accredited courses for the trades, operators and technicians each project will hire, paid on the trainees certified and placed.
- Concession training
- Training plans and apprenticeships written into other PPPs, with clear targets for local hiring.
- Direct proposals
- Training projects brought to government under Article 15, including small-scale PPPs below $14.1 million.
- Technology
- AI tutoring and assessment, simulators and robotics workshops deployed as standard in every center.
- Partners
- Standing agreements with contractors, operators, banks, infrastructure funds and technology companies that complete each consortium.
What the provider gains
The provider gains long-term contracts with government, a steady flow of trainees and a stake in the centers it runs. Each one it delivers builds a record that ministries, employers and lenders trust, which qualifies the provider for larger programs in Jordan and across the region.
It also gains a position in how the next workforce is trained. The first training provider in the region to pair PPP training centers with AI tutoring, robotics workshops and tokenized ownership will set the standard that later projects are measured against.
Next steps
How a training provider can start
Any vocational training provider in Jordan can take this guide forward. The first steps use the workshops, trainers and courses the provider already has.
01
Mandate
Board approval for a PPP training program, with its centers, courses and concession offers, the equity it can commit and its first-year goals.
02
Team
A named program lead, with training, development, finance and legal people drawn from the provider’s existing teams.
03
Pipeline
A map of Jordan’s $86 billion of projects by sector and stage, the trades each will hire and early meetings with the authorities that will tender them.
04
Courses
Accredited courses packaged for the trades, operators and technicians Jordan’s projects will need, with employers who will hire the graduates.
05
Partners
Contractors, operators, lenders, infrastructure funds and technology companies to complete each consortium.
06
Pilot
A first workshop, training center or concession training plan as a small-scale PPP or direct proposal, taken from idea to submission.
Jordan has the projects, a young population and a law that lets a provider propose its own. A PPP program gives your organization the training centers to run and a head start in training the people of the superintelligent infrastructure future.
