On November 9, 2026, Web4Jobs, Toumaï, and the Agence de Développement Économique et Social (ADES) held a ceremony to award certificates to the first graduates of the Web4Jobs pilot program. The program aims to equip young people with in-demand skills in web development, data analysis, and cybersecurity. This milestone marks a significant step for the trainees, who have acquired practical and certifiable skills in these three priority areas. The initiative focuses on hands-on training to facilitate the professional integration of young people in Chad's rapidly evolving digital job market.
The Web4Jobs program is designed to provide participants with concrete, certifiable, and directly applicable skills in web development, data analysis, and cybersecurity. According to Mohammed Aymane Bounri, Executive Director of Web4Jobs, the program's goal is to offer a professional and scientific training experience in digital fields, with plans to expand to several African countries. Chad was the first country to host a Web4Jobs training center in sub-Saharan Africa, which was inaugurated on June 5, 2025, in N'Djamena.
The ceremony highlighted the importance of partnerships in achieving this success. Adam El Mouden, Cultural Affairs Officer at the Moroccan Embassy in Chad, representing the ambassador, praised the innovative partnership between Toumaï, Web4Jobs, and ADES. He described the program as a strategic initiative that promotes the professional integration of young people, aligning with the priorities of the Chadian president and demonstrating cooperation between Morocco and Chad in education, innovation, and employment.
El Mouden emphasized the value of the skills acquired by the graduates, describing them as an "opportunity in gold or diamond." He stressed that expertise in cybersecurity, data analysis, and web development is in high demand on both African and international job markets. "A competent individual in cybersecurity, data analysis, and web development will never be unemployed," he stated, highlighting the program's potential to boost employment prospects for the graduates.
The Web4Jobs program's success is attributed to the commitment of its partners, teams, and the young trainees. Mohammed Aymane Bounri expressed his gratitude to all involved, emphasizing that their collective effort has made this achievement possible. The program's expansion to other African countries is expected to provide more young people with the skills needed to succeed in the digital economy.
The celebration of the first graduates marks a significant milestone for Web4Jobs, which aims to address the growing demand for digital skills in Africa. By providing hands-on training and certifiable skills, the program seeks to bridge the gap between education and employment, empowering young people to compete in the rapidly evolving digital job market.
As the digital economy continues to grow in Africa, initiatives like Web4Jobs are crucial in equipping young people with the skills needed to succeed. The program's impact will be closely watched, as it expands to other countries and aims to make a lasting difference in the lives of thousands of young Africans.
