TITLE: Women and their Professional Future: An Assessment of
Training Needs and Training Programs in Morocco.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1978
NOTE: 109 p.; Appendices (in French) are marginally legible.
ABSTRACT: This report examines the professional future of
women in Morocco. There are five major sections. Section one
provides background information about the report. An
exploratory trip was made to Morocco to (1) investigate ways
to promote the entry of a large number of women into the
public sector and social service agencies and to upgrade
those women who are currently employed into more responsible
positions, and (2) identify local training organizations
which do or can operate training programs for women. Section
two describes the educational system of Morocco. There is a
great deal of failure and withdrawal at all levels. Section
three, entitled "Identification of Training Needs," deals
first with common themes that emerged in discussions
regarding particular areas of training for which there is
national need and then identifies the particular segment of
the female population which is in greatest need to
participate in any projected training program. This is
followed by a listing of some particular needs for training
and supportive assistance which were articulated by specific
organizations or individuals. Section four examines the
opportunities for and constraints working against the
promotion of women in the civil service. Emphasis is given
in this discussion to existing mechanisms which might be
maximized to work more favorably in the interest of women's
upward mobility in the public sector. The report ends with a
brief discussion in section five of what the policy
implications might be for the different types of training
programs. (Author/RM)
