Earlier this week in Yaounde9, Cameroon, China First Highway Engineering Co. Ltd. (CFHEC) and Cameroon's Ministry of Higher Education (MINESUP) signed a framework agreement to launch the MINESUPE28093CFHEC Professional Certification Program. This partnership aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice for university students and recent grads.
The program combines classroom learning with hands-on training in real-world projects 🏗️🎓. Think of it like leveling up IRL: students earn academic credits while building skills that employers actually need. By blending lectures with on-site workshops, the initiative hopes to boost employability and support Cameroon's long-term skills development agenda.
At the signing ceremony, Minister of State for Higher Education Jacques Fame Ndongo called the agreement a "historic step" toward professionalizing university education. He said the program will better prepare students for the labor market and open doors to new job opportunities 🤝.
As companies worldwide look for talent with both solid theory and practical experience, this move could be a game-changer for Cameroonian youth. The first cohort of trainees is set to kick off this semester, marking a fresh start for vocational training in the region.
Stay tuned as this exciting program unfolds and empowers the next generation of professionals in Cameroon!
