Since 1975, the Kingdom has been carrying out development, economic and social projects in the Sahara region.
In 1976, the state created the first vocational training institution in Laayoune. Previously, the region had no structure dedicated to the qualification of human resources.
A network of institutions in ongoing development
Determined to actively participate in the region’s integrated development, the State has adopted an ambitious policy to extend training passing from one Vocational Qualification Center (CQP) in 1976 to 14 institutions including 4 Specialized Institutes in Applied Technology (ISTA), 4 Institutes in Applied Technologies (ITA) and 6 Vocational Qualification Centers (CQP).

To strengthen its presence in the region and ensure a neighborhood service, the State has created, in 2002, a regional management in charge of vocational training headquartered in Laayoune.
