The SALEEM project aims to foster student entrepreneurship in Morocco and Tunisia through the establishment of official status and support centers for student entrepreneurs in higher education systems. This will have the effect of improving the professional integration of students.There are several entrepreneurial support initiatives in Morocco and Tunisia, but these are not articulated or specifically tailored to the needs of a student audience.The project therefore has two specific objectives:1. Accompany the Ministries of Higher Education of Tunisia and Morocco in the setting up of a national system on student entrepreneurship;2. Strengthen the capacity of higher education institutions (HEIs) to support student entrepreneurs in four pilot cities, in partnership with employment agencies and economic actors.This will be done by sharing best practices developed in the field of student entrepreneurship, by ministries and HEIs of France, Belgium and Romania.The situation exposed will therefore be modified at 2 levels.At the national level, the higher education system of Morocco and Tunisia will recognize and create the right conditions for any student to study and simultaneously start up his or her company.At the local level, the support centers created on the campuses of four cities will allow students from all disciplines and several HEIs to have access to an equipped co-working space, specialized consulting support and relations with socio-economic actors.The objective beyond the project is that these poles multiply in other cities at the initiative of ministries, universities, and with the financial support of local public and private actors.The impact will therefore be a modernization of higher education systems and a reduction of student unemployment in Tunisia and Morocco.

In order to improve the valorization of the benefits of training and experience in Moroccan universities, promote orientation, mobility and training throughout life and enable companies to have visibility of the laureates’ skills, the project proposes to implement an e-portfolio approach and an e-VAL platform within the Moroccan partner universities. The project starts from the observation of the lack of an intelligent interface allowing the student to capitalize his experiences and cultivate his digital identity, the governance of the university to develop its digital visibility and businesses to better read the skills at the source.We will proceed to an investigation in the Moroccan partner universities, which will enable us to highlight the real needs and expectations. We will then schedule trainings presenting the European partners’ good practices in the field in additions to transfers of expertise, skills and personnel training within the Moroccan partner universities. This pedagogical approach will be supported by actions aimed at professional recognition both by the universities and by the socio-economic community.The e-VAL platform designed through an approach in network technology will be developed by mixed teams, implemented and then evaluated. This technical device integrated into the partner universities’ information system will have to guarantee the consistency and comprehensiveness of the e-portfolio approach in line with the needs of the Moroccan socio-economic fabric.The bulk of the action will focus on awareness-raising, training in the importance e-portfolio approach, conception then experimentation with e-VAL platform. Once stabilized at the end of the project, the platform will be evaluated and submitted for recognition by the supervising ministry, guarantee of the continuity of e-VAL project actions.
