PARIS, France, February 23, 2024-/African Media Agency(AMA)/-The founding president ofAfricSearch-first hunting firm created in 1996 for the promotion of African talents-, Didier Acouetey is the guest of the sixth edition of Mon Heure d’Afrique. This issue addresses the difficulties of finding decent employment in Africa, especially for young graduates, and how States and the private sector should better regulate this market by improving the employability of their young people. It is available on YouTube My Africa Hour and broadcastable free of rights by African television stations which request it.
On the occasion of the holding in Lomé, on February 23 and 24, of the exhibition AfricTalentsthe first recruitment fair dedicated to Africa, the association My Africa Hour which produces the eponymous show is happy to partner with AfricSearch to encourage economic actors operating on the African continent to promote the mobility of skills among young graduates, in an increasingly dynamic and very competitive market.
AfricTalents, today, there are more than 1,000 young graduates and experienced executives trained in the best schools and wishing to give new impetus to their careers. The Show offers job and internship opportunities to be seized immediately or in the medium term for candidates. It is also a place of information for businesses and an exceptional framework for exchange between decision-makers and economic players.
My Africa Hour already has six television shows dedicated to cross-cutting themes on the continent’s resilient news. Conceived and produced by the journalist Christine Holzbauer Gueye, the program Mon Heure d’Afrique (MHA) has defended – since its launch in 2021 – an independent African point of view through reports produced in Africa by partner African televisions. In parallel with the show that she produces, directs and presents, she created an eponymous association intended to promote freedom of expression in Africa and in the African diasporas by improving audiovisual content that is impartial and verified.
In the show dedicated to him, Didier Acouetey was delighted that African States have taken the full measure of the time bomb represented by massive youth unemployment. If their role, more than ever, is to “regulate, supervise and stimulate” the labor market, they must not replace the private sector. It is therefore a question of succeeding in creating “national champions” in Africa, the only ones capable of absorbing the mass of young graduates who arrive on the market each year. On condition that professional sectors are reorganized, schools regulated and the professional skills of these young people upgraded. An emergency that is all the more relevant, he says, as those who have agreed to return to work in Africa can only welcome it.
