In Gossas, Senegal, Minister Idrissa Samb concluded a three-day employment and technical training initiative, celebrating progress made in connecting people with work.
Samb and Minister Marie Angélique Diouf affirmed the government’s commitment to providing job access and skills training tailored to local needs. The program directly supported young people, women, and local businesses through outreach and dialogue. During the event, teams profiled and guided 167 job seekers, contacted 51 businesses, and enrolled 14 companies in the National State-Employer Convention.
The initiative also focused on empowering women, training 800 and funding 20 groups that will benefit 300 women. Additionally, the program reached 107 community associations through a project offering training in a specific trade. To sustain this momentum, the government established a permanent local employment center in Gossas. This center will offer guidance and support to job seekers and entrepreneurs, with plans to expand the program across Senegal.
