Tunisia's Minister of Employment and Vocational Training, Riadh Chaoud, recently presided over the closing ceremony of a training session for trainers in pedagogical engineering. The session was organized as part of the "Partnership for Professional Mobility" (PAR MOB) project. Chaoud emphasized that despite the sector's successes, it still requires a renewal of approaches, programs, and methodologies, as well as technological modernization. The minister highlighted the need to move beyond traditional in-center training to include distance learning and AI technology.
The "Partnership for Professional Mobility" project aims to modernize vocational training in Tunisia. The project will run until 2028, under the supervision of the Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training, in collaboration with the French Agency for Adult Training (AFPA) and the French International Technical Expertise Agency. The project's implementation began at the Grombalia Sectoral Training Center for General Mechanics in the Nabeul governorate. The project seeks to develop the capacities and pedagogical skills of trainers.
The training session for trainers was organized in collaboration with experts from AFPA. The goal is to equip trainers with the skills needed to transmit experiences and competencies, as well as train a new generation of sector graduates. These graduates should be able to integrate economically and socially into the labor market. The minister praised the initiative, recognizing the central role of trainers in achieving this goal.
The Tunisian government is committed to addressing the challenges facing the vocational training sector. Chaoud noted that the sector faces significant challenges, including a high demand for vocational training. The minister emphasized the need for innovative solutions to meet these challenges. The use of distance learning and AI technology is seen as crucial in expanding access to vocational training.

The project aims to improve the employability of young people and address the skills mismatch in the labor market. The project's implementation will be closely monitored by the Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training.

The use of new technologies, such as AI and distance learning, is expected to enhance the quality and accessibility of vocational training.
