Applications for the “Video Game Creator” training program, dedicated to video game development professions, are now open. This was recently announced by the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication.
Organized in collaboration with the French Embassy in Morocco, this certification training is part of the ministry’s strategy aimed at developing the gaming industry and training 40 young Moroccans, girls and boys, in this field. This multidisciplinary program, which will be held over a full year (2025), also aims to strengthen the professional and managerial skills of young Moroccans in order to support the growth of the gaming industry in Morocco, specifies the ministry.

Still according to the latter, the “Video Game Creator Program” will be carried out in partnership with three institutions: Isart Digital, the second best video game development school in the world, will provide training with its academic team; the International University of Rabat (UIR) will host the program on its campus; and the Higher Institute of Audiovisual and Cinema Professions will provide the necessary logistical resources. Note that, with the aim of reducing social and territorial disparities, the ministry emphasizes that interested young Moroccans will benefit from full coverage of tuition fees, usually very high for this type of training, thanks to partners, as well as as well as job opportunities and accommodation solutions.
