Moroccan nationals will now have the chance to prepare domestically for seasonal employment in Sicily, Italy.

This chance is the result of a Memorandum of Understanding that the General Union of Moroccan Workers, the Sicily Foreign Workers Association, and the Human Solidarity Consortium, three labor unions from Sicily and Morocco, signed on March 28, 2024.

The agreement stipulates that Moroccan workers will obtain vocational training in their nation of origin. After they have finished their training, they will be qualified to work as seasonal employees in Sicily, specifically in businesses in Bronte and Valledolmo.

This agreement’s main goal is to prevent the exploitation of foreign labor. The General Union of Moroccan Workers, working with Migrant.Work, will guarantee thorough support and training for Moroccan workers, even if the complete training and employment procedure will take time.

ANSA emphasizes that all Italian businesses are welcome to take part in this campaign. Moroccan employees will get the training they need to meet the demands of their jobs.

The Foreign Workers Association’s Paolo Ragusa stated that the organization’s goal is to give immigrants respectable and secure work opportunities in the nation. Sicilian social policy consultant Nuccia Albano emphasized how quickly foreign workers are integrated into businesses because of their qualifications.

Offering a range of training programs with different durations, such as first aid, fire safety, electrical work, and maintenance training, Migrant.Work helps foreign workers with the training process.

There has been a significant demand for agricultural labor in Italy, as demonstrated by the large volume of applications that were received on “click day.” The nation intends to admit over 89,050 workers this year, giving them visas for six to nine months that will allow them to live and work legally in order to address labor shortages.
