The new direction of apprenticeship training - Alioune Ndiaye - Bog

Apprenticeship training and the integration of young people into the workforce are major issues in many countries, including Senegal. Indeed, success in these areas is essential to ensure the country's economic and social development, as well as to offer employment opportunities to the younger generation. Faced with this reality, Senegal is turning to a new direction in its apprenticeship training and youth integration policy, to better meet the needs of the ever-changing job market.In recent years, Senegal has become aware of the importance of rethinking its educational approaches to offer young people skills adapted to the demands of the professional world. Traditional models of formal education have shown their limits, often leaving young graduates facing high unemployment and a disconnect with the realities of the job market. A new direction is therefore needed to ensure a better match between young people's skills and employers' needs.
