Between 2022 and 2024, Morocco trained 48,325 youth in traditional crafts as part of a national effort to preserve endangered artisanal skills and ensure their generational transmission.
The initiative, led by the Ministry of Handicrafts and supported by UNESCO, focuses on protecting intangible cultural heritage and integrating young artisans into the economy.
A digital knowledge archive has documented 32 high-value crafts across wood, leather, pottery, textiles, and metalwork. The Almaalem platform supports this effort by facilitating training and visibility.
Under a mentorship model, master artisans train youth in rare skills such as caftan embroidery, traditional tent weaving, and saddle-making.
A certification program has officially recognized over 1,000 artisans through skill validation, and nearly 1,000 inmates are trained annually as part of social reintegration programs.
Partnerships with ANAPEC and vocational institutions have pushed graduate integration rates above 85 percent, underscoring the strategic role of artisan training in cultural preservation and economic inclusion.
