Overview
USAID aims to assist Morocco’s basic education and vocational training institutions in preparing young graduates to meet Morocco’s entry-level workforce needs. The program is designed to work within existing structures, emphasizing the relevance of content for future use in daily life and the ability of instructors to deliver this content effectively. The use of information and communication technology (ICT), a special focus on girls’ and women’s participation, and the involvement of the business community and civil society are integral aspects of the work. Most of the program elements are implemented in four of Morocco’s 16 regions, in collaboration with the Ministries of National Education, Agriculture, and the State Secretariat for Training and Literacy and Non-formal Education. Moreover, USAID pursues the creation of public–private partnerships to help institutionalize program models for longer-term impact. |
