It aims to contribute to the training of young job seekers to adapt their skills and abilities to the requirements of the labor market in those countries bordering the Mediterranean.

“The Daedalus portal hosts a large number of private economic companies and also offers significant opportunities for internships,” he noted.

For her part, Houda Slim, board member of the “Ali Balhouane” cultural club said the portal is not only open to young people but also to the heads of public and private companies to interact with their needs and therefore adapt offers to demands in the job market.

Minister of Employment and Vocational Training, Zied Laadhari has, on occasion of the launch of the portal, stressed that unemployed youth in Tunisia are not a burden on society, emphasizing the need to give them every chance to unleash their creativity.

He noted that the portal “Daedalus” offers real employment opportunities via the internet, stressing that the Mediterranean is not only concerned with security issues such as illegal immigration, but can also become a space of communication and mobility between individuals through such initiatives.
