Youth employment and vocational fairs held in France and Cameroon

Employment and vocational orientation fairs are being held in France and Cameroon to assist young people in navigating career paths and professional training.

In France, a local employment forum featured over fifty companies and training centers. The event aimed to boost confidence among young job seekers and provide guidance for those seeking new directions. There was notable interest in security-related professions, including municipal police and airport rescue and fire services, with many female visitors inquiring about training opportunities.

In Yaoundé, Cameroon, the first edition of the Career and Vocational Orientation Fair opened at PlaYce Warda. Running through September 5, the event connects youth with training opportunities and professional insertion. The fair includes workshops, counseling sessions, and roundtables involving organizations such as the National Employment Fund (FNE) and the Center for Information and Professional Orientation (CIOP) to address challenges in employability and academic planning.
