Last Sunday, the portal "Careers In Morocco" organized a forum in Montreal to recruit Moroccan talents to work in their home country. "Careers In Morocco" is also the name of this annual event "which has been organized in Canada since 2007," as explained by its founder, Hamza Idrissi, in an interview with Radio Canada International. The forum also allows Moroccan skills and talents from around the world to connect with the business world of their home country. Also, Hamza Idrissi explained that people can get information about working in Morocco online, "but we prefer personal contact." Usually, the event is organized in three spaces: the employment space where companies can meet Moroccan talents residing abroad directly. In addition, the second space is dedicated to entrepreneurship, and according to the forum organizer, "some do not necessarily think of returning to the country to work for someone, but to create institutions." The last space is used to enhance networking, where people need to meet others and exchange ideas with them. " This time, last Sunday’s event was limited to employment only with the presence of the Moroccan group "Akwa" (AKWA). In this context, this Moroccan holding company, affiliated with the current Moroccan Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch, is active in the energy sector where it controls 40% of the fuel market in the country, and has branches in real estate, media, and logistics sectors. The human resources officials in this company traveled to Canada in search of specialized workers in project management, IT specialists, and in industry among other specialties. In general, companies are looking for experienced employees. The founder of the forum added: "Although last Sunday’s forum was dedicated to Moroccan companies, we do not work only with Morocco. We provide services to companies in Tunisia and Algeria, especially in the private sector and multinational companies operating there, such as 'Ooredoo' (Ooredoo), which is looking for Algerians from the diaspora who want to return to work in their home country. These talents can help these companies excel in their market." Like Canada, France attracted many computer science specialists from Maghreb countries. According to Hamza Idrissi, "60% of skilled computer workers who left Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria headed to France." This has created pressure on the availability of this workforce in the Maghreb countries.
