Meet Amina — a 22-year-old recent high school graduate living in Yaoundé. She finished with decent grades, but she feels uncertain about what the future holds. Jobs in the public sector are very competitive, and her family keeps hearing about youth unemployment, economic uncertainty, and shifts in the job market.

One evening, she attends a talk by NgahTech Group: a vibrant training centre in Yaoundé offering courses like Full Stack Development, Cloud Computing, Digital Marketing, Cybersecurity, etc. She learns from the instructor how employers are increasingly looking for skill-sets in technology and digital services, not just traditional degrees.

Amina thinks:

“If things in the economy or political scene change, I want to be ready. I don’t want to wait for something to happen — I want to build something I control.”

She signs up for the Full Stack Development programme at NgahTech. Over the next few months, she attends classes, collaborates with other students, builds real projects, and earns a certificate. She begins freelancing, perhaps helps local businesses build websites, and starts building a portfolio of her own.

As national elections draw nearer and the economy shows signs of uncertainty, she realises the value of having flexible, in-demand technical skills. When things shift — whether businesses need to digitise more, or new opportunities open up — she is ready.

By the end of her training, she not only has a certificate from NgahTech, but also a network, skills, and the confidence to take on opportunities — either locally or remotely. She knows that regardless of broader changes, she has built her resilience and her future.

5 Reasons Why Students Should Start Now

1. Rapid change & uncertainty in the political/economic environment
   As the October 2025 presidential election in Cameroon approaches, tensions are rising and the future direction of policy and investment is unclear. Reuters+2Africanews+2 In such contexts, having a professional skill-set in digital/tech fields gives you more control, rather than relying solely on older structures.
2. Growing demand for digital skills
   Across Cameroon (and globally), companies are increasing their digital presence, adopting cloud services, e-commerce, remote work, and online marketing. Institutes like NgahTech highlight that their courses prepare you for “cutting-edge tech” and give industry recognised certifications. ngahtech.com Getting ahead in such skills puts you in a strong position ahead of others.
3. Youth unemployment and the need for resilience
   Many young Cameroonians are facing limited traditional employment opportunities. With the country undergoing economic and political shifts, being able to adapt is crucial. Starting a tech course now gives you time to build portfolio, experience and visibility before the next wave of demand hits.
4. Time-sensitive advantages
   Because of the uncertain environment (elections, policy shifts, infrastructure investment) waiting could mean that opportunities shift or become more competitive. Starting now means you use this time to upskill, rather than scramble later when everyone else is doing the same.
5. Flexible career paths & multiple options
   With professional training (for example at NgahTech), you’re not locked into one path. You can freelance, work remotely, build your own business, join startups, etc. In a country where traditional public-sector jobs may be constrained or slow to evolve, being tech-savvy gives you multiple routes to stability and growth.
