A new boost has been given to Moroccan-Italian economic relations with the signing in Rome of a cooperation agreement between the Moroccan Chamber of Commerce in Italy (CCIM) and Federformazione Italia, the Italian Federation of Professional Training and Career Guidance Organizations.
The agreement was signed by CCIM President Marouan El-Mansoub and Federformazione Italia President Laura Mazza. It aims to enhance support for businesses, promote vocational training, and foster sustainable development in both countries.
Skills development and labor market alignment
The partnership seeks to strengthen cooperation in skills qualification and certification, in order to better meet the evolving demands of the labor market. It also provides for the identification of emerging professions and the development of joint programs at the Mediterranean level.
By aligning training systems with market needs, the two institutions aim to boost innovation, competitiveness, and the internationalization of businesses and economic stakeholders.
Business support and cultural diplomacy
Beyond training, the agreement covers business support services, job placement initiatives, and the organization of economic events, trade fairs, and institutional meetings. It also highlights cultural diplomacy as a key tool for fostering integration and mutual understanding between the two shores of the Mediterranean.
Speaking on the occasion, El-Mansoub described the agreement as “an important step in the dialogue between the public and private sectors of Morocco and Italy,” emphasizing that training is a key driver of economic growth in a rapidly changing market environment.
For her part, Mazza underlined that the partnership reflects “a shared vision” that positions the Mediterranean as a strategic space for cooperation, opportunity, and shared responsibility. Through this agreement, she said, both institutions intend to build sustainable bridges between the economic, educational, and cultural systems of the two countries, promoting a development model based on merit and institutional collaboration.
