Pillar 3

Skills

Train for the trades the territory offers, not for those that do not exist there.

What the territory lives

Young people leave training that is mostly theoretical. Processing units, water, solar or digital services cannot find technicians locally.

What doing nothing costs

  • Technical posts stay vacant or are filled from outside.
  • Trained young people find no local outlet and leave.
  • Equipment delivered without trained staff stops at the first breakdown.

Our response

We design a territorial skills system aligned with real value chains: a territorial Skills Academy at the head of the network, a trades school, a centre of excellence on a flagship trade, a farm-school, a demonstration centre, a rural incubator. The dedicated page presents the concept, the network, a young person’s pathway and the trades, to be confirmed against local needs.

What you get

  • A study of skills needs by trade
  • Trade standards and a work-based learning programme
  • An operating and financing model for the system
  • Partnerships to be built with businesses in the territory

Central Africa context

The chain is: training, employment, entrepreneurship, wealth creation. Certification is built with the authorities competent in vocational training and education. ODT does not award diplomas.

Who operates it?

Who operates it?

Principle: operator, revenue and maintenance are secured before any investment.

An academy or a farm-school is an asset: it needs a teaching manager, an operating budget and partner businesses.

  • Teaching management entrusted to a training operator designated before opening
  • A farm-school funds part of the training through its sales
  • Training contracts with businesses, public grants, training fees adjusted to each audience
