The Minister Delegate stressed the important role that students graduating from vocational training centers play in establishing “living” projects that are classified as innovative companies.
Diafat mentioned that “more than 70 percent of the micro-enterprises funded by the various mechanisms are the fruit of vocational training,” stressing that “mistakes made in the past in the field of financing institutions will not be repeated again.”
