Moroccans Eager for Training

This is revealed by the study conducted by ReKrute.com. The enthusiasm is real because it determines professional advancement.
"72% of Moroccans believe that training is essential." This is what emerges from a survey conducted by Rekrute.com, the leading employment portal. The method is based on a sample of 50,000 people, representative of the Moroccan population. The return in terms of responses was estimated at 3,000 people, which gives credibility to the results. "44% of respondents have a Bac+5 degree and half have a professional experience level of between 1 and 10 years," say the authors of the survey.
This is also a first in Morocco. The results of the nationwide survey highlighted the desire of Moroccans to benefit from training to adapt to the job market. "The job market requires each individual to regularly update or supplement their skills. For a reorientation, a gain in responsibility or simply support for the evolution of a function, a person must be in perpetual training," rightly explains Alexandra Montant, CEO of ReKrute.com.
Through the analysis, "a large majority of respondents (56%) followed between 1 and 3 training courses in the last 12 months, including 26% personally. This enthusiasm is explained by the fact that companies very regularly offer training to their employees to develop their skills."
According to the study, "72% of those surveyed stated that they perceive training as a necessity, which proves that the notion of training is now integrated by a large part of the active population in Morocco. The main motivators are: the possibility of broadening one's skills (52%), the prospect of a better job (36%), obtaining a supplementary diploma (12%)."
However, "the approach of self-training is not a negligible phenomenon," according to the investigation undertaken.
And generally, 1 Moroccan in 5 wants to train in personal development.
The study used several criteria in its methodology: "the first interest cited is deepening one's profession (28%), then mastering a foreign language (23%) and finally mastering IT software (13%). 1 Moroccan worker in 5 is thus aware of the importance of "soft skills."
Nevertheless, the areas of management (21%), communication (17%), sales (12%), marketing and finance (11% each) were also cited by the sample according to the percentages mentioned above.
Furthermore, given the constraints encountered in daily professional life and the reluctance of employers to grant flexibility to executives wishing to pursue training, "89% of Moroccans plan to train online." A figure from the survey...
Moreover, "89% of respondents plan, indeed, to train online, remotely, and 70% are willing to pay for it. Among the latter, 67% plan to obtain a certificate attesting to the training followed and the level obtained."
As a reminder, the ReKrute.com portal has already positioned itself in this niche in the "companies" segment. Will the study be a harbinger of development in this area? To be continued...
