The Impact Ladies Association in Chad recently organized a special day for young people to learn about careers in the digital revolution. The event, themed "Orient, Learn, Innovate: Preparing Youth for Careers in the Scientific and Digital Revolution," aimed to provide a platform for young people to gain information and support to enhance their social development in a rapidly evolving technological world.

The event featured a debate led by Memtingar Djimtahadoum, an expert in generative artificial intelligence, and Kemneloum Anicette, a gender expert. Amina Carine, representative of the association's advocacy pole coordinator, opened the event by highlighting the importance of the theme in line with current technological advancements. She emphasized that the scientific and technological revolution is transforming how people learn, work, and communicate.

Amina Carine noted that the revolution presents both opportunities and challenges, and it is crucial to prepare young people to seize these opportunities. She stressed that the association's goal is to equip young people with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world. The event aimed to inspire young people to explore careers in the digital revolution and to develop the skills required to succeed in this field.

Macka Chérif, Vice-President of the Impact Ladies Association, encouraged young people to make informed choices about their future. She emphasized that orientation is not just about choosing a field or career, but also about self-discovery and identifying one's talents and passions. Chérif advised young people to explore their interests and not just follow trends when choosing a career.

Memtingar Djimtahadoum, the expert in generative artificial intelligence, discussed the future skills required for success in the digital revolution. He emphasized the importance of continuous learning, relearning, and unlearning in the face of rapidly evolving technologies. Djimtahadoum encouraged young people to view artificial intelligence as a tool to complement their skills, rather than a substitute for human intelligence.
