Yesterday marked the official launch of the Food Academy in the province of Ouezzane in Morocco. The ceremony was inaugurated by the Governor of the province Ouezzane, Mr. Mehdi Chebli. In the past months, the project partners and the #EMAeV team in Ouezzane worked relentlessly to renovate the building that was provided by the Commune Ouezzane, develop the training plan, and have successfully started the 3-month training for the first batch of students.
The Academy is offering vocational training and further education for self-contractors and employees of small companies and cooperatives in the field of food production. The plan is to start the academy life by training 200 students in the next couple of months in special training programs, that includes courses on #marketing, #finance, #communication #technology, #export, and finishing off with a practical on-field experience.
The Food Academy is part of a PartnerAfrika project between the Chambre de Commerce d’Industrie et de Services de la Région Tanger Tétouan Al Hoceima (CCIS-TTA), Fédération Nationale de l’Agroalimentaire (FENAGRI), IHK Zu Schwerin, and the EMA 🤝
