Employment Minister Younes Sekkouri revealed that, for the first time ever, young people without degrees will benefit from support aimed at businesses to help promote job opportunities.

Speaking to the press after a meeting chaired by the head of government, Sekkouri stated that ” companies hiring non-graduates will receive subsidies, either for paying their salaries, for their training, or both at once.” The minister described this initiative as a major breakthrough in employment policies.

The government official emphasized that the meeting focused on how to raise awareness among companies of the need to take young people under step-by-step vocational training in various sectors, notably in automotive, textiles, and construction.

By increasing the number of beneficiaries of this training from 30,000 to 100,000, the government aims to provide young people with a broader opportunity to earn income for the work they do, the minister pointed out.

Regarding vocational training, the minister highlighted that a three-year post-baccalaureate training program is a “fundamental” reform in this field. He explained that this measure supports this category of vocational trainees, who need one year of language and soft skills training required for tourism-related sectors.

To implement the employment sector’s roadmap, which includes eight concrete initiatives aimed at reducing unemployment, the government has mobilized a budget of approximately 15 billion dirhams.
