UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL OF MOROCCAN YOUTH

2019-2020

Education for Employment

Education For Employment (EFE) trains young people and connects them with job opportunities across the Middle East and North Africa. In this region, young people are three times more likely to be unemployed than older adults. Since 2006, EFE has connected over 128,000 dynamic young people to the world of work via placements at nearly 4,000 companies.

CHALLENGE

One in four young Moroccans is unemployed. A social and economic disconnect between skills and jobs is at the root of this high unemployment rate. The public education system does not prepare young people adequately with the soft, technical and digital skills needed for the available jobs.

ACTION

EFE provides young Moroccans (half of them women) with the right skills to improve their work-readiness and secure high-demand jobs and dignified livelihoods.

Benefiting from a blend of online and in-person demand-driven training, EFE students are provided with the opportunity to join job-specific programmes and learn essential skills, such as communication, teamwork and leadership.
