WORD FROM THE DIRECTOR OF CIOP IN DOUALA
In the face of the scarcity of salaried employment and the skills deficit of young job seekers, vocational training appears to be an appropriate response to youth unemployment and the development of their skills for self-employment.
The Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training was created to respond to a dual concern, namely vocational training and the integration of young people into salaried employment or self-employment.
To carry out this heavy task, the MINEFOP has set up a number of specialised structures, including the CIOPS, to guide and support young people in choosing a training course adapted to their needs and abilities. The CIOP is more than ever the best place for young people seeking vocational training, integration and even professional retraining to obtain all the information or services free of charge and without an appointment.
