Project Manager – TCSE – EmpoweerNEET 

Who we are 

The Tunisian Center for Social Entrepreneurship (TCSE) is a non-profit organization created in 2012, with the vision of making social entrepreneurship a pillar of the Tunisian economy by offering sustainable and innovative solutions to economic and social challenges. 

TCSE’s mission is to create an ecosystem that is conducive to innovation and social entrepreneurship through an inclusive approach that reaches public institutions and policies, NGOs, entrepreneurs, innovators, and young citizens. 

About Interreg NEXT MED: 

Interreg NEXT ‘Mediterranean Sea Basin’ (‘NEXT MED’) programme is the third generation of one of the largest cooperation initiatives funded by the European Union to enhance transnational cooperation in the Mediterranean area. 

About EmpoweerNEET project: 

Across the Mediterranean, NEETs (young people Not in Employment, Education, or Training) face significant challenges, including high unemployment rates, economic exclusion, and limited access to quality education and vocational training, exacerbating social inequalities. At the same time, the potential of Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) to promote inclusive economic growth and social integration is underutilized. 

EmpoweerNEET brings together entities from Palestine, Spain, Greece, Tunisia, Lebanon, and France to effectively address NEETs´ marginalization. The project offers comprehensive training programs to develop entrepreneurial and employment skills, provides practical experiences through job shadowing and mentoring, and ensures sustainability via supportive policy frameworks and ethical financing models. EmpoweerNEET aims to transition NEETs from economic and social marginalization to empowerment.
