Members of Junior Enterprise (student-led companies) from Tripoli and Benghazi Universities recently visited the Tunisian capital, Tunis, at the end of October. This visit aimed to strengthen and unify student initiatives among Libyan universities.

The visit included various workshops and meetings with representatives from Junior Enterprise Tunisia, where discussions were held to assess the needs of Junior Enterprises in Libya. The goal was to support them in meeting the requirements set by Junior Enterprise Global, facilitating the establishment of “Junior Enterprise Libya” to unite this initiative nationally.

Junior Enterprise is an initiative established with support from France Expertise to encourage students at several Libyan universities to establish and manage their own non-profit organizations. This initiative enables students to form partnerships with private companies and sectors, offering their services and enhancing their entrepreneurial skills, while also providing practical experience to prepare them for the job market after graduation.

The initiative is funded by the European Union in partnership with the French government and implemented by France Expertise under the EU4SKILLS project, which aims to support skills development and employment governance in Libya.
