Coaching for Employment and Entrepreneurship (C4EE) Morocco
The project aims to provide young people with vulnerable backgrounds and especially young women in Morocco with opportunities for productive self-employment. Thanks to a tailor-made coaching program, they are supported in their integration into the labour market and become empowered to create resilient livelihoods for themselves.
In cooperation with local stakeholders, Swisscontact has introduced an innovative and proven coaching methodology based on the promotion of four core competences: self-competences, social competences, methodological competences and professional competences. The uniqueness of the coaching cycle lies in the combination of different training components and the elaboration of an individual development plan for the participants under the close supervision of a coach. In addition, the cycle is tailored to empower marginalised people as it intervenes at different levels of the labour insertion process. The methodology was developed jointly by Swisscontact and the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts.
Project goals:
- Young women and men from vulnerable backgrounds have improved access to supportive technical and financial services
- Participants receive advice and guidance on labour market opportunities
- The methodology of the coaching cycle is anchored in the local partner institutions
- Local coaches are trained to carry out the coaching cycle.
