GOPA Infra, as lead partner of the Consortium with GOPA Worldwide Consultants, Planco Consultants and the local Partner Mostaqbal, is currently implementing the TVET project “Promotion of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (Phase I)” in Jordan financed by KfW and the local contribution of the Crown Prince Foundation (CPF). The Jordan branch of GOPA Infra serves as the on-site coordination platform of the project, where our Senior Architect, Mrs. Diala Anabtawi, is the local focal point for the project coordination.

Phase I of the project aims to establish the HTUPLUS campus as a new flagship facility for TVET in Jordan and to rehabilitate two Satellite Vocational Training Institutes (VTI) in Irbid to maintain the flagship model of TVET capacity in the country. The new campus will offer technical education and training for the lower segments of the qualification system (TVET level 4 "craftsmen" and 5 "technicians").

Beginning of 2024, the construction of the Campus Amman started with the ground and foundations works. The construction measures comprise the erection and technical fit-out of a training building complex incl. workshops, labs, dormitories and administration buildings considering state-of-the-art design and technologies with at total build-up area of approx. 20.000 m². The services of the Consultant include all stages of implementation, from the scratch of the master planning up to the concept & detail design, procurement and construction supervision as FIDCI Engineer until the end of DLP.

Mr. Lueg (Managing Director), Mr. Pinciu (Project Director) and Mrs. Monteiro (Backstopper) of GOPA Infra undertook a site visit to get an impression of the progress and conditions on site, and used the opportunity to meet the on-site team to receive a firsthand wrap-up of the ongoing activities.
