Tunisia
The German-Tunisian Manager Training Programme prepares executives from Tunisia specifically for business initiation and economic cooperation with German enterprises. Each year, around 25 Tunisian executives take part in this practical training. They come from firms which have foreign trade potential that wish to establish contacts in Germany. The focus is on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Under the motto “Fit for Partnership with Germany” the participants acquire management skills, gain insights into German business practices and establish contact with German enterprises, mainly medium-sized firms. The programme is aimed at managers and future managers, and at upper and middle management levels of Tunisian enterprises and is generally open to all industries.
A Bilateral Agreement Between the Two Countries
Since 2014, Tunisia has been a Manager Training Programme partner country. A corresponding government agreement exists between the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) and the Ministry of Industry and SMEs (Tunisia). So far, 174 entrepreneurs from Tunisia have participated in the programme.
