Following the registration and online psychological test stages, the selection process for the first cohort of the LeARN programme (Levier d'Apprentissage pour la Reconversion dans le Numérique) continues with the in-person interview stage. What are the key points?
During the registration period, which ran from 8 to 24 June 2021, 18,466 applications were received from all over the national territory. Only 14,689 candidates were pre-selected after the database was screened using the first three filters, namely:
- Age (18 to 35);
- Availability for the training;
- Level of education (at least the baccalaureate) and a minimum understanding of English.
Online psychometric test stage
The pre-selected candidates were invited by e-mail to take a psychometric test on the ASSESSFIRST platform.
Of the 14,689 people, only 52.5%, or 7,725 people, completed the 90-question test.
Who are the participants in the in-person interviews?
After the psychometric test stage, the 500 candidates with the best scores were contacted by telephone for interviews to verify information on their academic and professional backgrounds.
At the end of this stage, 283 eligible candidates have been invited to individual in-person interviews. They are distributed as follows:
- 211 candidates in the Greater Nokoué region
- 72 candidates outside Greater Nokoué
The in-person interviews end on Friday 6 August 2021.
What is the next step?
The next step is the “Grand Jury”, before which all the candidates interviewed individually will present themselves. It will lead to the final selection of the beneficiaries of the first cohort of the LeARN programme.
