If English is not
your native language, U.S. universities and colleges will
ask you to take an English language proficiency test before
admitting you to a degree program. Almost all institutions
require that this test be the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL). A few may accept scores from other examinations
or administer their own tests. For further information, check
each college's catalog or contact the admissions office to
discuss your situation. As with many areas of U.S. education,
each institution sets its own English language admission standard,
but some general guidelines on requirements are given in the
section on TOEFL scores below.

TOEFL Waivers: If you are a non-U.S. citizen and non-native
speaker of English who has been educated in English for most
of your school life, your TOEFL requirement may be waived.
Allow sufficient time in the application process to correspond
with the U.S. university about this issue.

International Labor Organization will work to increase awareness and the capacity of Jordanian government officials to combat labor trafficking and forced labor in the Qualified Industrial Zones by providing training and technical assistance. ILO will provide training material in Arabic on how to identify forced labor and trafficking; organize a two-day seminar for participants from the Ministries of Labor, Justice, and Interior, representatives from the legislature and judiciary, from the employer and worker organizations, NGOs, and the diplomatic community; and provide intensive training for law enforcement on recognizing trafficking victims and pursuing criminal prosecutions against traffickers. ILO will assist the government in establishing an inter-ministerial coordination body to enhance criminal investigation and prosecution of trafficking. The results of this project include 128 trained law enforcement officers, improved coordination between the Ministries of Labor, Justice, and Interior, and increased understanding of trafficking for labor exploitation.
