Fatshimetrie recently covered a particularly striking news story, highlighting an innovative initiative aimed at offering unemployed youth in Lubumbashi and Kasumbalesa training opportunities in various professions. More than 280 young people were transferred to the national service of Kaniama Kasese, in Haut-Lomami, with the aim of training and becoming positive actors in Congolese society.
The presentation ceremony of these young people, which took place in the presence of Major General Kasongo Kabwik and the Provincial Minister of the Interior of Haut-Katanga, Jean-Jacques Kashiba, highlighted the importance of this approach for the future of these young people and for the socio-economic development of the country.
According to Major General Kasongo Kabwik, the objective of sending these young people to Kaniama Kasese is to offer them the opportunity to acquire skills and qualifications in different professional fields, so that they can contribute significantly to Congolese society. This approach is part of a desire to combat youth unemployment and promote employment and entrepreneurship.
A motorized caravan was organized in Lubumbashi to mark the departure of these young people to Kaniama Kasese, highlighting their enthusiasm and determination to seize this training and apprenticeship opportunity. Some young people who have already followed similar training have successfully entered the job market, practicing various professions such as machinists, carpenters, cabinetmakers or farmers.
This initiative demonstrates the desire of local and national authorities to promote education and vocational training for young people, with the aim of promoting their social and professional integration, and thus contributing to the sustainable development of the country. It also highlights the importance of investing in youth as a key lever for building a better future for all.
Ultimately, sending these young people to Kaniama Kasese to pursue vocational training represents a unique opportunity for them to build a promising future for themselves and become positive and committed actors in their community and country. This approach illustrates the desire to implement concrete solutions to combat youth unemployment and to promote their personal and professional development, in a context where education and training appear to be essential levers for the socio-economic development of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
