The role of digital skills in the employability of young graduates: The case of a company responsible for delegated management of public services in Morocco

Abstract

Our study aims to highlight the role of digital skills in the employability of young graduates in the professional context of delegated management of public services in Morocco, regarding the theoretical approaches developed in this framework. Through a qualitative study, we will present initial results relating to the context of the study, while targeting young people recruited within the company studied with a view to confirming and enriching the existing conceptual framework.

In addition, the results show that the academic training provided by Moroccan universities/higher education establishments does not correspond perfectly to the needs of companies, particularly in the field of digitalization. Furthermore, self-training and continuing education play a sine qua non role in filling the skills gap for graduates.
