During a seminar organized by Al Akhawayn University in collaboration with Groupe Le Matin in Casablanca, the Moroccan Minister of Economic Inclusion, Small Business, Employment, and Skills, Younes Sekkouri, announced that remote work will soon be officially regulated within the Moroccan Labor Code. According to the minister, necessary amendments are expected to be introduced by September or October 2025.
Sekkouri emphasized the need to redefine the concept of work in light of the profound changes brought by artificial intelligence (AI), noting that about 80% of jobs in Morocco require modernization. While AI is often perceived as a threat to employment, he stated it could actually become a powerful enabler of productivity and innovation.
The minister outlined his strategic vision for AI integration, stressing the importance of aligning technological advancements with Morocco’s local capabilities. “If tech progress continues steadily, we will have even greater opportunities to develop skills in new areas where Morocco can take the lead,” he said.
On a related note, Sekkouri called for a fundamental reform of the vocational training system. He revealed plans to launch an AI-powered observatory to support job seekers, featuring digital career coaches to help improve CVs and understand labor market dynamics. He also announced a new employer-focused service designed to provide insights into available local talent.
Regarding vocational education reforms, Sekkouri emphasized the value of professional certifications, the need for simplified recognition mechanisms, and the importance of strong public-private partnerships to develop training programs aligned with market needs.
The seminar, themed “Employability and Competitiveness in the Age of AI: Challenges and Opportunities for Morocco,” saw the participation of several high-profile figures, including Amin Bensaid, President of Al Akhawayn University, and Mehdi Tazi, Vice President of the Moroccan Employers’ Association (CGEM). It also featured a dynamic panel discussion on future skills, evolving hiring practices, and the impact of AI on Morocco’s economic model.
