Passion is what drives us to accomplish great things and reach our potential. Following our passion is the way to achieve professional meaning and fulfilment. During my time in high school, I faced challenges in discovering my true passion. The conventional coursework didn't resonate with me, and as a result, I failed my baccalaureate exam on three occasions. Eventually, I made the decision to enroll in a fashion design vocational training center in Monastir. This allows me to pursue a field that genuinely sparks my interest and gain the necessary expertise in it. I plan to use these skills to help my sister expand her fashion design workshop and develop a new clothing brand.

To make this happen, I dedicate all my time to the workshop. The online course modules available on the platform have been incredibly convenient, as I can access them during weekends and breaks, allowing me to fit in training alongside my other responsibilities.

* The online textile training modules are part of a pilot project between the US government through its USAID Tunisia JOBS program with the National Center for Training of Trainers and Training Engineering (CENAFFIF). Through the project, JOBS helped CENAFFIF develop 14 online course modules in four high-demand sectors – agriculture, textile, electromechanics, and tourism.
