The Minister of Digital Affairs and Digitalisation, Ms Aurelie ADAM SOULE ZOUMAROU, spoke with the trainees of the LeARN programme (Levier d'Apprentissage et de Reconversion dans le Numérique, a lever for digital learning and retraining) during a visit to their training centre on Wednesday 3 November 2021.
The purpose of this visit, which came one month after the launch of the first cohort of the LeARN programme, was to see the training conditions at first hand, to talk directly with the learners and to hear their impressions.
The trainees spoke of the very good organisation at the training centre, the innovative nature of the learning method and the facilities made available to them by the Government of the Republic and the project's various partners. Indeed, in addition to training fully subsidised by the Government, each beneficiary received a laptop computer. Those living outside Greater Nokoué are housed by the programme in Cotonou.
The Minister Aurelie ADAM SOULE ZOUMAROU urged all the beneficiaries to show discipline and rigour throughout the training period so that the objectives the Government set in launching this programme are achieved. Finally, she discussed with them the various career opportunities open to them at the end of their training. The Minister of Digital Affairs and Digitalisation particularly stressed the importance of not relying solely on the lessons received and of continuing to improve their skills, as the digital sector is constantly evolving.
The visit ended with a working session between the Minister and the team in charge of the training, which provided an opportunity to review the first month of learning.
