The Determinants of the Professional Integration of Young Graduates from Higher Education in Morocco : The Case of Graduates from Ibn Zohr University in the Agadir Ida-Outanane Prefecture

Résumé

Young graduates in Morocco often face increasing challenges when it comes to integrating into the labor market. The aim of this research is to identify the determinants that facilitate access to employment for university graduates, specifically the graduates from IBN ZOHR in the prefecture of Agadir-Ida Outanane. The research presents the results of a quantitative study. Data were collected through a questionnaire administered to a sample of 120 graduates from various IBN ZOHR institutions. A confirmatory study using multiple regression analysis was then conducted on the same samples to identify the factors influencing the professional integration of young graduates. The SPSS software was used as the analytical tool for the results. The findings indicate that professional aspects and soft skills are critical for access to employment, while the influence of sociodemographic characteristics remains relatively insignificant.

Keywords: Professional integration, labor market, sociodemographic characteristics, professional aspects, soft skills.
