"Improving Youth Income and Economic Inclusion"
Our Approach

Program Highlights

Our initiatives are designed to empower Moroccan youth through education, entrepreneurship, and community development.

Skills Development

Comprehensive training programs that equip youth with essential skills for the modern workforce and entrepreneurial ventures.

Education & Mentorship

Access to quality education resources and personalized mentorship from industry leaders and successful entrepreneurs.

Community Support

Building networks and communities that provide ongoing support, collaboration opportunities, and resources for sustainable growth.

Dual Support System

Program Tracks

Our program offers two complementary tracks to support entrepreneurs at each stage of their development

Pre-Creation Process

After studying the best project ideas, the provider will organize full-time reinforcement, orientation, and profiling sessions for project leaders for one or two weeks, led by expert consultants in entrepreneurial support mobilized by the provider.

This mainly involves welcoming, listening, guidance, conducting necessary studies (market research, project setup, feasibility studies, assistance in establishing the business plan as well as budgetary and legal aspects).

Post-Creation Support

Post-creation support will be provided through a coaching journey including practical training and individual and group support, including on-site (at the business location), adapted to needs, agreed between the provider and the beneficiary, based on an initial assessment.

It will primarily cover management skills essential to the proper conduct of the project, namely financial management, cash flow management, marketing, business opportunity development, sales, and support for administrative formalities, as well as behavioral skills (soft skills).

Regional Focus

Province of Azilal

La Province d'Azilal a été créée par le Dahir n° 1-75-688 du 23 avril 1975, dans le but de rapprocher l'administration du public et d'établir une administration efficace accessible aux acteurs économiques. Elle fait partie de la Région Béni Mellal-Khénifra établie dans le cadre du nouveau découpage régional décrété par le Dahir n° 1-97-84 du 2 avril 1997, relatif à l'organisation des Régions.
