Secretary General at Employment Ministry: one post

One secretary general post at the Ministry of Employment and Social Dialogue

Morocco’s Ministry of Employment and Social Dialogue has announced, by ministerial order, the opening of applications for the post of secretary general of the ministry. This is a single post, as stated in the call for applications. It falls among the senior positions whose appointment is deliberated in the Government Council, under Organic Law No. 02.12 and the related implementing decrees.

The call is addressed to senior executives belonging to State administrations, public establishments and enterprises, or the private sector, who meet the diploma, experience and responsibility conditions set by the order. The competition code is S 2210/26.

Legal framework and status of the post

The post is governed by Decree No. 2.93.44 of 7 Dhu al-Qi'dah 1413 (29 April 1993) on the status of secretaries general of ministries, as amended and supplemented. Under Article 4 of the order, the secretary general of the ministry performs the tasks assigned to ministry secretaries general by that decree.

The order relies on Dahir No. 1.12.20 of 27 Sha'ban 1433 (17 July 2012) implementing Organic Law No. 02.12 on appointment to senior positions; on Decree No. 2.12.412 of 24 Dhu al-Qi'dah 1433 (11 October 2012) implementing Articles 4 and 5 of that organic law; on Decree No. 2.14.280 on the attributions and organisation of the Ministry of Employment and Social Affairs; on Decree No. 2.26.829 of 14 Jumada al-Ula 1448 (26 October 2026) on the attributions of the Minister of Employment and Social Dialogue; and on Order No. 3448.12 of 25 Dhu al-Qi'dah 1433 (12 October 2012) of the minister delegated to the Head of Government for the Civil Service and Administrative Modernisation, setting the standard form.

Eligibility conditions

Applications are open to senior executives meeting all of the following conditions, each of which must be evidenced in the application file:

• Moroccan nationality.
• Higher university diploma: holding a higher university diploma allowing access to the engineer or administrator grade, or an equivalent qualification, and allowing classification at scale 11 or an equivalent scale.
• Responsibility functions: at least four years in a responsibility role as director of a central administration, director in a public establishment or public enterprise, or in the private sector, in Morocco or abroad.
• Professional experience: at least fifteen (15) years in the public or private sector, enabling the candidate to carry out the tasks of the post set out in Decree 2.93.44.
• High qualifications and skills enabling the candidate to perform the tasks attached to the secretary general post.
• Knowledge of public policies of the Ministry of Employment and Social Dialogue, and of the ministry’s strategy, tasks, environment and the institutions under its supervision.

How to read the conditions

The diploma condition is tied to access to the engineer or administrator grade, or an equivalent grade, and to classification at scale 11 or its equivalent; it does not mean that every higher diploma is automatically accepted. The four-year condition concerns the specific responsibility roles listed in the order (director of a central administration, director in a public establishment or enterprise, or the private sector), not any supervisory role. The fifteen-year condition concerns total professional experience in the public or private sector.

Application file and required documents

Under Article 3 of the order, the application file consists of the standard form annexed to Order No. 3448.12 of the minister delegated for the Civil Service and Administrative Modernisation, together with documents proving that the candidate meets the conditions required for the post. The standard form may be obtained from the ministry’s website or the public employment portal.

The CV form covers civil-status details, academic training from most to most recent, additional training, professional experience in the public sector and in the private sector or an international organisation, professional expertise, language levels, and a signed and dated declaration of accuracy. Building the file from this form helps avoid omissions.

Number of copies and filing method

Application files must be filed, against a receipt, in five copies, during the working hours in force in public administrations, at the general secretariat of the Ministry of Employment and Social Dialogue at the following address: Rue El Joumiz, Riyad district, Rabat.

Applications run from publication of the order until 1 December 2026 at 16:30. Candidates are advised not to wait until the final day, since filing depends on issuance of a receipt and on administrative hours.

Interview and selection committee

A committee to examine applications will be created by order of the Minister of Employment and Social Dialogue. It will select files meeting the application conditions and conduct a selection interview, in accordance with Article 4 of Decree No. 2.12.412. The announcement specifies neither a date, a duration, nor a numerical scoring grid for the interview.

Practical information on pay
