Abstract:

 Vocational training in Morocco is undergoing profound transformations under the new roadmap launched by the Office of Vocational Training and Employment Promotion (OFPPT), which has made Character Education and the development of professional values a cornerstone of its pedagogical vision. This research adopts a longitudinal mixed-methods approach conducted over three years and involving three cohorts from the Business Management stream, option Accounting and Finance and option Commerce and Marketing, within a specialized institute of applied technology. The study combines participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and employer surveys to examine the evolution of trainees’ values, behaviors, and soft skills – from their initial training to their professional integration. Findings reveal that the vocational training system, through the revision of internal regulations, the promotion of extracurricular activities, and the strengthened role of trainers and career counselors, contributes to shaping a balanced professional personality that harmonizes technical competence with ethical commitment. The study concludes that Character Education constitutes a strategic lever for preparing Generation Z to combine professional excellence, social responsibility, and human flourishing within the world of work.
