Fatshimetrie, Minister of Vocational Training Marc Ekila recently held a press briefing in Kinshasa, during which he shared the latest government perspectives on the viability of vocational training centers. The objective is clear: to improve the quality of education and vocational training to better prepare young people to enter the labor market and contribute to the development of society.
In a context where youth employment is a major issue, it is essential to promote vocational and technical training. These offer concrete employment prospects and constitute a real lever for the professional integration of young people. By encouraging young people to opt for these sectors, the government demonstrates its desire to promote a transition to a more diversified and competitive economy.
Indeed, technical and professional professions play a crucial role in the socio-economic development of a country. They meet the needs of the labor market by providing a qualified workforce adapted to the requirements of companies. By investing in vocational training, the government is helping to strengthen the productivity and competitiveness of the national economy.
Furthermore, by focusing on making vocational training centers viable, Minister Marc Ekila also plans to improve accessibility to these training courses. It is important to guarantee a quality offer, but also to make these training courses accessible to all, regardless of their social background or financial situation. This involves setting up appropriate support and financing mechanisms, as well as strengthening public-private partnerships to promote the professional integration of learners.
Ultimately, the government’s stated desire to promote vocational training and make training centers viable is a strong signal in favor of youth employment and the country’s socio-economic development. By investing in education and vocational training, the Democratic Republic of Congo is committed to sustainable and inclusive growth, where every young person has the opportunity to realize their potential and contribute to the progress of society.
