About us
A Tunisian social enterprise for skills and jobs
TUTORIUM trains young Tunisians and connects them with mentors, employers and new opportunities. Our team brings years of experience in youth empowerment, intercultural dialogue and practical, interactive learning, gained in Erasmus+ youth exchanges and training courses, Model United Nations programmes and community projects across Europe and the MENA region.
We registered TUTORIUM as a company in February 2026 so that we could hire staff, sign agreements with employers and partners, and plan for the long term.
Vision
An inclusive ecosystem where every young person in Tunisia has the skills, networks and opportunities to thrive in the modern economy and to contribute to society.
Mission
To equip young people aged 18 to 35 with market-relevant skills in emerging technologies, professional competences and personal development, through mentoring, vocational training, internships and experiential learning.
What we do
One organisation between the classroom and the workplace
Young people in Tunisia often finish their studies without the practical skills or contacts that employers look for. We close that gap from four sides.
Mentors and internships
Every learner gets a professional mentor, and an internship where places are available.
How it works
Training for teams
Tailored workshops and coaching for employers, plus business and management consulting.
Services
Your partner in Tunisia
Local delivery, learner recruitment and employer engagement for Erasmus+ and Horizon Europe projects.
