The Contract for Professional Integration (CIVP): A Gateway to Employment for Young Tunisian Graduates
The Contract for Professional Integration (CIVP) is a program implemented by the Tunisian government to help young graduates integrate into the job market. It is a subsidized employment contract that allows young people to acquire valuable professional experience in a company while receiving a monthly allowance.

However, individuals who have already worked for more than 24 months continuously or 36 months discontinuously after obtaining their last diploma are excluded from benefiting from this type of contract.

The National Agency for Employment and Independent Work (ANETI) pays a monthly allowance to the trainee of:
- 200 TND for holders of a higher education diploma or a recognized BTS diploma.
