Alternating work and study: A key lever to prepare the talents of tomorrow
In a context where the match between training and employment remains a major challenge in Morocco, work-study programs appear as an essential solution to strengthen the employability of young graduates.
During her presentation, Alexandra Montant, Deputy CEO of ReKrute.com, highlighted the lack of preparation of young people from Moroccan universities in the face of the realities of the job market. According to her, "six months of immersion in a company makes all the difference."
Why is work-study essential?
Unlike internships, often limited to a short-term experience at the end of a course, work-study programs are based on a dual-rhythm system. Students divide their time between school and a company for an extended period (one to two years). This model allows them to acquire:
Concrete operational experience alongside their academic training.
A better understanding of the codes and requirements of the professional world.
Increased employability upon graduation.
In France, this system has been a pillar of training for over 30 years. It has profoundly transformed the links between the academic and business worlds.
The role of companies
For Alexandra Montant, it is urgent for companies to become more involved in this process. By opening their doors to young people, they are not only helping to train their future employees, but also reducing the gap between academic skills and operational needs.
ReKrute.com is committed, alongside academic and economic stakeholders, to promoting work-study programs as a driver of competitiveness and inclusive growth.
