Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, is preparing to soon host a “city of trades”. This ambitious project was launched by President Félix Tshisekedi, during the laying of the first building stone of this infrastructure. The city of trades will be located at the Agricultural Institute of Mombele, in the municipality of Limete.
This project, the result of a partnership between the DRC, Belgium and with the technical support of Egypt, aims to prepare and train the Congolese population, in particular the youth, for the professional world. According to the Minister of Vocational Training and Trades, Antoinette Kipulu Kabenga, this initiative aims to reduce the unemployment rate among young people and to solve the problem of the mismatch between training and employment.
The Cité des Métiers will be a space for resources and advice dedicated to orientation and professional life. It will offer open, anonymous and free access to all. The services offered will include individual advice, documentary and digital spaces, as well as other resources aimed at helping individuals prepare for their professional future.
This project is an opportunity for the Congolese population, in particular the youth, to benefit from a unified framework for promotion, orientation, popularization of trades and innovation in entrepreneurship. The objective is to reduce the unemployment rate and set up training adapted to the needs of the labor market.
The city of trades in Kinshasa will be a real springboard for young Congolese, offering them opportunities for training and skills development, while promoting their professional integration. This project promises to be a significant step forward for the Congolese economy and the country’s youth.
In conclusion, the construction of the city of trades in Kinshasa marks an important step in the preparation and professional training of the Congolese population. This ambitious project, supported by international partners, aims to reduce youth unemployment and promote a match between training and employment. The city of trades will offer resources and advice adapted to all individuals, with the aim of helping them prepare for their professional future. This is an excellent initiative that will contribute to the economic development and development of Congolese youth
