The Moroccan government says it will allocate MAD 2.25 billion to employ thousands of Moroccans without degrees.
The “Awrach” government program, benefitting from this unprecedented funding, aims to provide 250,000 job opportunities for young Moroccans with no educational certificates.
Younis Skouri, Minister of Economic Integration, Micro-enterprise, Employment and Competencies, said today that “the government will work to accommodate segments of society that don’t have a formal education,in order to include them in the national labor market,” adding that “higher education certificates are not a requirement for benefiting from the Awrach program.”
The Minister added that “the government will work to accommodate Moroccan youth who have yet to integrate the labor market, to facilitate their economic integration.”
The government program, which will span from 2021 to 2026, will provide for the development of innovative programs aimed at improving employability and enhancing the chances of professional integration.
Awrach is also aiming to encourage individual initiatives, through technical and financial support for the creation of businesses and startups.
The minister highlighted the importance of personal initiative, in synergy with government actions that benefit the revival of the national economy.
Skouri said that “we should not wait for the total recovery of the national economy in all its sectors, we will adopt a proactive policy to rehabilitate unqualified and uneducated people,” stressing that “a serious program aims to achieve local development and keep pace with aspiring youth.”
Among the subprograms allowed for by the Awrach initiative, there is a program for temporary small and large public projects, for which the government has allocated MAD 2.25 billion for 2022.
The program will be carried out at the national and regional levels, in partnership with various ministerial sectors, public institutions, local authorities and territorial groups, as well as organizations Civil society and local cooperatives, with no prerequisites.
The Minister additionally announced that approximately 250,000 people are expected to benefit from this program during the years 2022 and 2023.
