Various West and Central African nations have implemented vocational training initiatives targeting youth and women to improve employability and economic autonomy. In Guinea, the Ministry of National Education, Literacy, Technical Education and Vocational Training launched a Mobile Training Unit supported by UNICEF. This pilot program provides industrial skills training, such as building electricity and sanitary plumbing, to youth who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET). The initiative uses a “school-site” approach where students apply skills to community projects. In Senegal, professional training programs for 15 young people in the Bembou commune were launched at the Lycée Technique Industriel et Minier de Kédougou to meet regional economic needs.
