Short-Term Consultancy: Incubation Facilitator

1. Background

The Youth Grow Activity (YGA) is a five-year (2023–2028) initiative funded by the United States, implemented by Q2IMPACT (a QED Group company) and partners, in direct partnership with the Government of Jordan. YGA is a strategic U.S. investment in Jordan's workforce, stability, and long-term economic self-reliance, upskilling Jordanian youth and connecting them to opportunities to strengthen one of America's most reliable partners during a period of intense regional political, economic, and social turmoil.

College for Advanced Vocational Training (CAVT) was established in 2022 by the Crown Prince Foundation to promote the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector in Jordan. CAVT offers high-quality, accredited, affordable, future-oriented, and technology-enabled TVET programs across a diverse range of fields aligned with global trends, ensuring a highly skilled workforce capable of adapting to evolving market demands.

Within the Jordanian TVET ecosystem, technical proficiency alone is no longer sufficient for competitiveness; graduates and skilled practitioners also need entrepreneurial tools — business model design, marketing, and financial management — to move from “skilled” to “employed” or self-employed. With several mega-projects on the horizon, Jordan's labor market increasingly demands innovative, professionalized talent. The Vocation-to-Venture (V2V) Launchpad responds to this need as an Incubation program designed for TVET students/graduates/labor and TVET skilled youth (18–29 years) from College of Advanced Vocational Training (CAVT)’ graduates and vocational labor. The program focusses on building foundational business and entrepreneurial competencies through experiential, challenge-based learning and practical application. Its primary objective is to strengthen entrepreneurial literacy, promote self-employment awareness, and equip participants with the knowledge and skills required to transform their vocational knowledge and skills into ventures, and to pursue sustainable income-generating opportunities.

To ensure long-term operational sustainability and efficient delivery during the incubation phase, YGA is providing technical assistance to CAVT's V2V (Vocation-to-Venture) project by engaging a dedicated short term Incubation Facilitator.
