The head of the Made in Jordan campaign, Vice President of the Amman Chamber of Industry, Eng. Musa Al-Saket, affirmed that the support of the national industry contributes to solving the problem of unemployment. The industrial sector, which currently employs more than 240 thousand workers and workers, more jobs for Jordanians, despite all the challenges and obstacles facing the national industry in the domestic market and export markets. 

"The high unemployment rate in Jordan, with more than half a million expatriate workers, indicates a dysfunction in the labor market produced by education output," he said in a speech at the Training Development Forum for the National Industry, organized by the National Industries Support Committee of the Jordan Engineers Association. 

Al-Saket pointed out that the Amman Chamber of Industry has launched a program to link engineering graduation projects in the industrial sector, in which engineering graduation projects are carried out to obtain the bachelor's degree for various engineering disciplines by students of engineering colleges based on the needs and demands specified by the factories. In 2013, an agreement was signed with the Jordanian Engineers Association to organize a competition for engineering graduation projects implemented in the industrial sector in order to develop the level of engineering graduation projects and the quality of their outputs and stimulate creativity and innovation. 

Al-Saket reviewed the themes of the "Made in Jordan" campaign launched by the Amman Chamber of Industry and the Jordanian Enterprise Development Corporation, and turned into a national campaign involving many ministries and official bodies as well as all industrial chambers. 

He pointed out that the campaign included many axes, including: promotion, media, field visits, meetings and workshops, and designing a slogan for the campaign in order to facilitate the identification of Jordanian products and distinguish them from other goods in the markets, in addition to the state of production. 

Al-Saket appreciated the role played by the Jordanian Engineers Association under the chairmanship of Eng. Ahmed Samara Al-Zu'bi and the committee supporting the national industries in the union in support of a campaign made in Jordan and supporting training and development in the industry.
