The Relationship Between Skills Development, Language Proficiency, And Employability In Algeria: Insights From The British Council
Authors : Nacer Loubna . Leboukh Fatma .
Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between skills development, English language proficiency, and employability in Algeria, focusing on initiatives supported by the British Council. The objective is to assess how language and employability programmes influence the preparedness of Algerian students and young professionals for the labour market. A qualitative research design was adopted, using semi-structured interviews with relevant stakeholders. The data were analysed thematically using NVivo software to ensure systematic coding and interpretation. Findings indicate that English proficiency significantly enhances access to employment opportunities, while gaps persist in transversal skills such as communication and critical thinking. British Council initiatives are perceived as beneficial in improving both language competence and employability awareness, although structural and institutional constraints limit their broader impact. The study highlights the need for stronger alignment between educational provision and labour market demands in Algeria.
