INTRODUCTION
Refugees and forced migrants represent a major pattern of underserved communities, belonging to the lower-income groups, refugees struggle living in resource-limited setups such as camps. To improve these people’s conditions, dedicated educational opportunities, especially vocational training, are beneficial and of paramount importance. Tailored offerings like hands-on training needed for this group, so contributing directly to SDG 4. This project focuses on understanding the benefits and drawbacks of a master-apprentice model in such contexts; it also aims at designing an educational structure for a master-apprentice model in these resource-limited settings as Jordan hosts one of the largest refugee populations in MENA region, with more than 80% of refugees living in camps falling below the poverty line. The project investigates the opportunities the master-apprentice model provide to professionalize technical skills through peer learning, or one-on-one learning, entailing the student as both a master who trains others and a -lifelong- apprentice who learns from their supervisors and mentors.
