A memorandum of understanding (MoU) has been formalized between the German Jordanian University (GJU) and Al Hussein Technical University (HTU), aimed at fostering collaboration within the initiatives of the HTUX.ORG platform. This agreement, signed by representatives including Prof. Ala’aldeen Al-Halhouli, President of GJU, and Prof. Ismael Al-Hinti, President of HTU, signifies a commitment to leverage the resources and capabilities of both institutions to enhance the career prospects and professional development of students and graduates.
Under the purview of the Deanship of Innovation, Technology Transfer and Entrepreneurship (DI-TECH) at GJU and HTU, an initiative of the Crown Prince Foundation (CPF), this collaboration seeks to advance the objectives of HTUX.ORG. This digital learning platform, developed at the Digital Learning Center of HTU, aims to provide accelerated and innovative learning pathways over a six-month period, tailored to empower and equip Arab youth with the requisite skills for success in the era of the fourth technological revolution.
With a focus on engineering, technology, and Arabic language proficiency (white dialect), the platform integrates digital learning models and mini educational units designed to foster skills development, entrepreneurship, and creativity. Through strategic partnerships with industry and the labor market, facilitated by HTU, the platform endeavors to enhance the educational experience and facilitate meaningful employment opportunities for its beneficiaries.
GJU's participation in this initiative underscores its commitment to providing its students and graduates with access to the diverse educational pathways offered by HTUX.ORG. The collaboration extends exclusive opportunities for enrollment in engineering and information technology tracks, with support from the Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation and CPF.
Prof. Al-Halhouli expressed enthusiasm for the strategic partnership with HTU, highlighting its potential to enrich students' experiences and align their skills with the demands of both Jordanian and German labor markets. He emphasized the importance of deepening cooperation in research, innovation, technology transfer, and community service.
Similarly, Prof. Al-Hinti underscored the significance of collaboration between GJU and HTU in delivering practical programs and training that serve the interests of Jordanian youth, enabling them to compete effectively at local and global levels while contributing to their personal growth and empowerment.
