DOHA: Silatech revealed that it seeks to ensure 415,000 jobs for youth in the Kingdom of Morocco by the end of 2020. 

The organisation met with a number of Moroccan ministers as well as its partners in the kingdom to expand its programmes and discuss the launching of programmes that target youth employment in government entities and enable them in new sectors. The organisation also aims to explore promising opportunities in different sectors to launch programmes that benefit youth and enable them to develop their society.

The organisation revealed that Morocco is one of the first countries Silatech worked in since its launch in 2008 and has an operation manager to follow up with the workflow. The number of Moroccan youth benefiting from the Silatech partnership programmes has reached 85,071 young men and women to date. 

Silatech designed a strategic programme that targets promising opportunities in developing Moroccan sectors. For example, in its partnership with the Moroccan Ministry of Tourism and the International Youth Foundation to implement life skills training in 15 centres, Silatech benefited 3,649 youth and contributed to integrating 821 youth in the job market. 

The organisation cooperated with five partner organisations to implement programmes to enable youth and attain financial coverage where the number of youth benefiting from the different micro-credit programmes has reached 81,422. 

The organisation’s most prominent partnership is with youth financing facility Jaida, which reached 9,556 jobs over three associations. In addition, the organisation has a successful partnership with Attawfiq Microfinance implement Bodour initiative, which achieved 68,379 jobs out of the 145,000 youth jobs targeted by 2020.
