Italy recruits drivers in Morocco

To fill this local labor gap, the city’s public transport company has organized a driver recruitment campaign in collaboration with foreign consulates in Italy. In its first phase it targeted both Peru and Ecuador and has already received around 100 applications, Italian media report.
