Ouargla University Career Center

Program Description

The Ouargla University Career Center provides training, coaching, and other employment services to young graduates.

The southern city of Ouargla is one of Algeria’s most challenging job markets for youth. With support from Anadarko Petroleum, World Learning has offered one-on-one career guidance, professional soft skills and civic engagement training, English for the Workplace courses, career fairs, and other employment services to students at the University of Ouargla since 2013.

These programs have had an important impact on local youth. In a 2016 survey of more than 200 career center alumni, 72% of young job seekers had found employment, while 90% reported that they had applied their new skills to launching their careers.
