Government officials and employment specialists from private schools, civil society, trade unions and professional associations in Jordan are to be provided with training in gender neutral job evaluation methods at a workshop organized by the ILO and Jordan’s National Committee for Pay Equity . The workshop aims to:

• deepen participant’s understanding of ILO gender-based pay equity methods;
• build on the results of an in-depth ILO study on pay equity in Jordan’s private education sector;
• pilot gender neutral job evaluations practices between civil society, government as well as trade unions in private education with the aim of rolling out similar methods in other sectors; and
• identify potential national trainers to undertake gender-neutral job evaluations and draft concrete recommendations in Jordan's private schools.

The workshop is part of the ILO project “Re-valuing Women’s Employment: Implementing Equal Pay for Work of Equal Value in Jordan,” which aims to promote equal remuneration for work of commensurate value in Jordan.
