It is worth noting that the dry welding skills were taught at the Aqaba National Vocational Training Complex, affiliated with NETC, reinforcing the spirit of partnership among all entities involved. This approach is consistent with the company's mission to equip Jordanian youth with specialized professions that meet market needs, in line with national efforts to promote vocational and technical training.
