The second edition of the Employment and Training Fair kicked off in Bouira, Algeria, and will run until Monday at the Chamber of Craftsmanship and Trades. This event follows the successful first edition held last September, which drew a large number of young job seekers. The fair provides a platform for attendees to learn about various training programs and explore future career prospects.
According to Boualem Amina, coordinator of the event and representative of Idus Event, the fair aims to encourage young people to pursue different fields of continuing education and orient them towards qualifying training programs. The event features several companies seeking specific profiles in their areas of activity, including major Algerian groups specializing in food processing, painting, and services.
The fair's primary objective is to motivate young people to acquire training and find opportunities in their chosen fields, as a well-chosen formation equals a profession and a future. The first edition, held in September, was highly successful, with over 7,000 visitors and more than 10,000 CVs submitted to participating companies. Many job seekers found employment thanks to the fair, although exact numbers are not available.
The event is not limited to young people, as training has no age limit, particularly with new specialties offered by the vocational training sector, such as tourism and hospitality. These sectors have seen significant interest, according to officials. The fair provides an opportunity for job seekers of all ages to explore various training programs and potential career paths.
A representative from the vocational training department emphasized that the goal is to make the most of the training opportunities available in Bouira, with institutes, centers, and annexes offering a diverse range of programs. They stressed that vocational training is a guarantee of stable employment.
Young attendees, such as Ahmed, expressed their appreciation for the event, stating that it is beneficial for job seekers to meet with companies and receive guidance on their future training and career choices. The fair allows participants to gain insight into the job market and the requirements of various sectors.
The Employment and Training Fair will continue until Monday, providing a platform for young and not-so-young job seekers to explore the world of work and connect with potential employers in various sectors that are increasingly demanding qualified labor. The event aims to bridge the gap between job seekers and employers, promoting employment opportunities in the region.
