In a major step for global education partnerships, the Chinese mainland’s China First Highway Engineering Co. Ltd. (CFHEC) and Cameroon’s Ministry of Higher Education have teamed up to launch a vocational training initiative aimed at tackling youth unemployment. The MINESUP–CFHEC Professional Certification Program, signed this week in Yaoundé, will blend classroom learning with real-world skills to prepare students for today’s job market. 🎓✨
Cameroon’s Minister of State for Higher Education, Jacques Fame Ndongo, called the agreement a "historic leap" toward modernizing education. "This program isn’t just about diplomas—it’s about creating pathways to careers," he said during the signing ceremony. The initiative will focus on sectors like engineering and infrastructure, aligning with Cameroon’s goal to build a skilled workforce for sustainable development. 🔧🌱
For young professionals in Cameroon, the program promises hands-on training and industry-recognized certifications, bridging the gap between academia and employer demands. Meanwhile, the partnership highlights the Chinese mainland’s growing role in supporting African nations through education and capacity-building projects. 🤝📈
