The Agency, the same source points out, has focused on new markets such as Canada and the Democratic Republic of Congo, adding that 51 recruitment commissions have traveled to Tunisia to conduct interviews with Tunisian candidates and learn about available human resources. In addition, the Agency received 130 job offers.
As part of bilateral and triangular cooperation, the ATCT sent 28 Tunisian experts to carry out technical assistance missions, including 25 experts as part of a campaign to fight blindness for the benefit of Burkina Faso, Libya, and Cameroon.
An expert carried out a mission for the implementation of the quality system for the benefit of the Sultanate of Oman, and two experts carried out missions for UNIDO in the field of quality and metrology.
In the same context, the Agency organized 11 training sessions in Tunisia for 119 executives from 31 African and Arab countries on various training topics such as research on contagious diseases, taxation and tourism, the French language and publishing, the dissemination and production of school books, in cooperation with international cooperation organizations and Tunisian state and private training centers.
