The Islamic World Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (ICESCO), in partnership with the Federation of Universities of the Islamic World (FUIW), welcomed 50 students from Morocco’s Al Akhawayn University on Friday. The visit, part of the university’s “Genz Careers in Rabat” program, aimed to bridge the gap between academia and the professional world by showcasing ICESCO’s dynamic initiatives.

During the tour, ICESCO experts delivered in-depth presentations on key programs designed to empower young people. Highlights included the Leadership Training for Peace and Security Program (LTIPS), the “My Thesis in 1000 Words” initiative—geared toward enhancing PhD candidates’ academic communication—and the Young Professionals Program, which provides two years of specialized training within various departments and centers.

Additionally, the sessions shed light on ICESCO’s broader efforts in entrepreneurship, innovation, artificial intelligence, and space science, along with initiatives from its Education and Culture sectors. Experts emphasized how participation in these programs can equip young talents with the skills needed to thrive in a global, specialized environment.

At the conclusion of the visit, the students expressed their gratitude to the ICESCO and FUIW teams, praising the opportunity to explore the organization’s diverse sectors and pioneering programs that serve its Member States.
