2. Unemployment in Morocco is a very serious problem.
According to the world Bank Young Moroccans “are not
active job seekers, They have given up”.
There are a lot of types of unemployment though the
one that concerns us most is the one that is caused by
wrong mentality and untrue beliefs.
More than all that we have a very high percentage of these young people who
choose not to work until they find the jobs they want. They are voluntarily
unemployed even though they are still looking for jobs.
These young people don’t want Just any Job they want Jobs
That they have designed in their heads and they refuse
to settle for less.
WHAT, WHY,HOW & WHO???

3. A forum for youth unemployment
Our project is designed to create confrontations between
the new generation mentality and professionals who are part of the
work market and may help explain its dynamics
Several facets of the
problematic are going to be
discussed with professionals
(professors, executives, psyc
hologists and coaches).
An opportunity for unemployed
youth with the same problems
and the same vision to meet
amongst themselves and
discuss.
Gathering a multitude of
experts and known personalities
and featuring a diversity of
activities and encounters that
will benefit the participants.
Encouraging youth to take
initiatives and make things
happen for themselves by
giving them guidance to create
their own projects.

5. We Made it work !!
On the 22end of April we had the very
first edition of the Youth
Unemployment Forum. The forum was a
great success.
A team of 11 members that
took the project in charge and
worked on organizing and
preparing for the event.
50 participants that came to
the forum from different
schools to participate in the
discussion and ask their own
questions and benefit from the
event.

6. When people ask me why did you create your first business when you
were so young? I answer them because I needed to eat.
I was hungry"
"we are not in a waiting logic. I don't have what I want so I will not work!"
"You think that just because you did some good studies that us
companies have to give you jobs. You have to earn it"

Majid EL GHAIB:
Mohammed El MANJERA:
Three well known personalities discussed the topic and
worked with the participants on the mentality change.

7. On the 22end of April we had the
very first edition of the Youth
Unemployment Forum.
The interaction between the
young audience and the guests took
over two hours of discussion.
The topic seemed to pick the
interest of all the people present
and we got to witness firsthand the
confrontation of the real market and
the expectations of young people,
and how big the gap is between
both parties.
The forum focused on the
importance of paradigm shift
and mentality change it also
worked on defeating the fatalist
tendencies of the younger
generation and insisted on the
importance of hard work and
motivation.
