The city of Dapaong is gearing up to host the third edition of the Vocational Education and Training Week (ETFP), scheduled to take place from February 15 to 24. The official announcement was made on Tuesday, January 31, by the relevant ministry during a press briefing.
Under the theme « Strengthening public-private partnerships for a qualified workforce and better employability of graduates », this week aims to highlight the government’s efforts in the field of vocational education and training, as well as the resulting opportunities for young learners.
Colette Adjognon, President of the National Organizing Committee for ETFP Week, emphasized the significance of this initiative, stating, « It is for us to intensify, in a synergistic way, actions in favor of communication on ETFP, access to this training, employability, and professional integration of graduates ».
This edition promises to be rich in various activities. The program includes awareness-raising caravans, radio programs to reach a broader audience, open-house days allowing interested individuals to closely explore various training programs, and talent competitions with attractive prizes.
It is worth noting that the ETFP Week was initiated in 2022 to familiarize the public with available vocational education and professional insertion opportunities. Since its inception, it has played a crucial role in shedding light on the educational and professional paths of young people while strengthening the bonds between public and private sector stakeholders.
This third edition, taking place in Dapaong, is expected to significantly contribute to the promotion of vocational education and training in the region, thereby enhancing prospects for learners and future workers.
