EIn response to a question from Nabila Mounib, MP representing the Unified Socialist Party (PSU), on the strategies of the Ministry of Culture within the framework of interministerial coordination to resolve “the crisis facing 1.4 million young people in NEET situations who deserve a real chance and a programme to save them“, Bensaid said that this problem required the joint efforts of several ministries.
“One of the solutions we have proposed is the use of youth centres to offer training services, particularly with regard to digitalisation.”, he explained.These training courses exist, several ministerial sectors offer them. Today, we need training courses that directly meet the needs of the labor market in each territory.”
Indeed, training does exist, but is generally in a few specific areas which do not meet the needs of young people and entrepreneurs in the different regions of Morocco.
“What is expected of young people is not only to be trained and to access the job market. Some want to undertake and start their own projects, or expect opportunities in cultural production.”, added Bensaid.
Asked again by Mounib about the move of the International Book and Publishing Fair (SIEL) to Rabat, stressing that Casablanca needs it just as much, Bensaid replied that the fair required “major investments“and that the choice of the city that hosts it was made according to the financing that the region could offer.
