This memorandum will establish mutually beneficial cooperation between the two parties through the exchange of curricula and the organization of training courses on laws and legal regulations related to the fields of labor, social security, and vocational training to raise awareness of the implementation of working conditions, employment contracts, and the benefits of the social security regime in order to contribute to improving the readiness of students before entering the labor market.
