Correlation One launches first of its digital skills and jobs pathway programs in Jordan

Amman: Correlation One - a digital skills training platform - has launched its ‘Data Science for All / Jordan’ (DS4A / Jordan) program. The pioneering 10-week program will begin on 1 October and train 50 Jordanian citizens and Syrian refugees in data skills. Graduates will be matched with employment opportunities at local companies and multinational employers seeking talent to work in remote roles based in Jordan.

The program application was extremely well received by professionals across Jordan. In just two weeks, over 1,700 applicants completed the rigorous written application, skill assessment and interview process. Applicants included working professionals with backgrounds in software engineering and other technical areas, in addition to self-taught individuals seeking enhanced training and certification. DS4A / Jordan is free for learners, with an entirely merit-based admission.

Throughout the virtual and immersive program, learners will engage in live training and work with one another in synchronous sessions. Lectures are case-based, imparting real skills in real contexts, not theory. The course will also allow learners to collaborate in teams on capstone projects using actual datasets relevant to Jordan. These projects will address topics like education, energy, water systems and modernizing the public sector.

Correlation One’s program ultimately closes the ‘last mile’ between
