The Association Terra Océane and the Association des étudiants de la FLSH (AE-FLSH) have signed a partnership agreement to facilitate access to the professional world for students and young graduates. The partnership, signed at the University of Antananarivo's Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences, aims to connect students with companies that are recruiting. This initiative is expected to boost employment opportunities for young people in Madagascar.
Terra Océane, founded around the discipline of Geography, aims to promote the value of this field and make its job opportunities known to students. The association's founder and president, Carinah Mamilalaina, explains that the project was born out of a desire to defend the Geography major and promote the skills it provides. The association also has a branch, Terra Emploi, which aims to achieve a 10% professional insertion rate for students from the Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences.
Terra Océane is already collaborating with Madagascar Agricultural Group (Mag), a company that recognizes the value of diverse skills in the agricultural sector. According to Mag's general director, Hary Landza, agriculture involves not only agronomy and farming but also geography, environment, climate, social sciences, and demography. As a result, the company is looking for diversified profiles, which the Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences can provide.
The partnership between Terra Océane and AE-FLSH is expected to benefit students and young graduates who often struggle to secure their first job due to lack of experience. Mag has expressed its willingness to give young graduates a chance, with Hary Landza assuring that the company's doors are open to students and young graduates seeking their first experience.
The partnership is also aligned with Mag's strategy to not only provide jobs but also encourage young people to start their own businesses and create employment opportunities. By working together, Terra Océane, AE-FLSH, and Mag aim to make a positive impact on the Malagasy job market and contribute to the country's economic growth.
The collaboration between Terra Océane and AE-FLSH demonstrates the importance of partnerships between academic institutions and private companies in addressing youth unemployment in Madagascar. By providing students and young graduates with access to job opportunities and professional experience, this initiative can help bridge the gap between education and employment.
The partnership between Terra Océane and AE-FLSH is a significant step towards addressing the challenges faced by young graduates in Madagascar. With the support of companies like Mag, this initiative can help create a more favorable job market for young people and contribute to the country's sustainable development.
