The Education for Employment Tunisia Al-Najah program increases the economic autonomy of young graduates in Tunisia – particularly female graduates – living in underprivileged regions of the country, while reducing the country’s unemployment rate and combating poverty among women.
By working with Canada’s largest post-secondary network, EFE Tunisia Al-Najah supports the country’s ISET (Instituts supérieurs d’études technologiques) network to improve co-developed training opportunities and increase the employability of graduates. The project also ensures that teachers are trained to support their students in gender-sensitive pedagogy, competency-based approaches, female entrepreneurship for educational purposes, and on gender-specific employability strategies.
