Madagascar Country Context:
Only 13% of young people have access to higher education. The low level of education, the lack of visibility and understanding of career choices are all obstacles to accessing professional opportunities.
More than 80% of youth under 18 years old live in extreme poverty.
Madagascar has experienced rapid economic growth in recent years.
How is PN Madagascar bridging these gaps to fight poverty?
Created in 2021, the program consists of a one-year preparatory program for digital careers focusing on:
The development of digital technical skills
An upgrade in general subjects, emphasizing applied sciences
Language learning: official Malagasy, French and English
Training in personal development and soft skills
Orientation and knowledge of digital professions: how to build a sustainable career aligned with market needs
The one-year program enables disadvantaged young people increase their employability which will open the doors to digital and technological higher education in Madagascar, with a goal of finding quality work in an IT profession. After completing and receiving their diploma from the program, PN Madagascar accompanies them while they study in Tech Universities, providing scholarships and support until graduation and job placement.
