On the sidelines of the closing ceremony of Employment Week, which took place last Friday at the Doctoral Studies Centre of the Faculty of Sciences of El Jadida, a new university agency of Anapec was inaugurated within this Faculty.

After Kénitra, Casablanca, Rabat, and Marrakech, the National Agency for the Promotion of Employment and Skills (Anapec) has opened its fifth employment space within the Chouaïb Doukkali University (UCD). The result of a partnership between the two institutions initialled during the closing of the Student Employment Week in El Jadida, this space will give Anapec the opportunity to get closer to students and future job seekers and to make them discover all the services made available to them, particularly remote services. Taking advantage of the occasion, Mouâad El Jamaï, Governor of the El Jadida province, stressed that the province, which is experiencing a boom in industrial terms and has enormous potential, is succeeding in attracting more investors to settle, particularly in the Jorf Lasfar industrial zone. For his part, the Director General of Anapec, Anas Doukkali, speaking on this occasion before numerous students at the Chouaïb Doukkali University of El Jadida, welcomed this initiative which consists of bringing the university closer to the job market, improving the employability of students, and boosting self-employment by supporting young project holders.

For his part, the President of the Chouaïb Doukkali University, Yahia Boughaleb, stated that "the space of the new generation Anapec-UCD Agency is intended to prepare students and graduates for active life, through information on the job market and promising sectors, training on research techniques, and awareness-raising on entrepreneurship." On the sidelines of the closing ceremony, partnership agreements were signed between Anapec, the Chouaïb Doukkali University, and several economic and social actors. By virtue of these agreements, the parties concerned commit to federating their efforts for the preparation and orientation of students and higher education graduates in order to ensure their integration into active life. These partnerships are also based on complementarity between the various parties concerned and essentially aim to promote human resources, through training and skills development. It should be noted that during the Student Employment Week, organised from 18 to 22 April 2016, under the theme: "The path to employment: opportunities and tools," Anapec facilitators visited several schools, high schools, and university establishments.
