“ Sartex Training Center opened it’s doors in 2012 via a collaboration with the German organization Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). Geared towards high school dropouts from rural regions, the curriculum combines practice and theory and is taught by both experienced factory workers and international professors. With a capacity of 150 students, the training lasts nine to twelve months. The resulting diploma, certified by German and French experts, is recognized throughout Tunisia. However, the majority of graduates chose to stay in Ksar Hellal and be integrated into the SARTEX’s lines which is something that makes us proud.”
