The Moroccan government has announced the establishment of the “YouCode Fès” school in the Fès-Meknès region, aiming to enhance the country’s digital skills and contribute to socioeconomic development. The initiative aligns with Morocco’s Digital Maroc 2030 strategy, which focuses on building a robust talent pool in the digital sector.
The “YouCode Fès” school will offer a two-year training program in programming and coding, with each cohort accommodating 80 students. The program is designed to increase employment opportunities in the digital sector, helping young people in the region secure tech-related jobs. The school will be a key part of Morocco’s strategy to create 270,000 digital jobs by 2030, up from 130,000 in 2022, and boost digital export revenues.
This effort reflects Morocco’s broader vision of becoming a leading outsourcing and digital export hub. The country also aims to contribute to Africa’s digital transformation by addressing the growing demand for digital skills across the continent. The launch date for the “YouCode Fès” school is yet to be announced, and there are plans for similar initiatives in other regions.
