Ammon News - Minister of Labor and Chairperson of the Vocational Training Corporation (VTC), Khaled Bakkar, visited a vocational training center in Ain Aouda near Rabat to review Morocco’s dual vocational training model.

According to a ministry statement Thursday, the visit was attended by Jordan’s Ambassador to Morocco Jumana Ghneimat and VTC Director General Ahmad Gharaibeh.
