Bougouriba: The Provincial Directorate of Secondary Education and Vocational and Technical Training (DPESFPT) of Ziro organized a trade promotion day this Saturday, under the theme: "One student, one trade for successful socio-professional integration." This initiative is part of a broader effort to make schools truly comprehensive learning environments for students.

According to Burkina Information Agency, the event was sponsored by the High Commissioner of the Ziro province, Saba Zorome, and attracted participation from administrative and educational authorities, students, as well as several actors from the professional world. The President of the Sapouy Special Delegation (PDS), Ourob¨ Dioma, emphasized his commitment to supporting initiatives aimed at promoting vocational training in schools and bridging the gap between education and the world of work.

Kouanda Mactoume, speaking on behalf of the students, expressed gratitude to the President of Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traore, for youth-oriented actions, acknowledging the inseparability of school and life. Yemti/Diasso Zenabou, the ceremony's patron, praised the initiative and underscored the importance of introducing trades to young people during their school years, urging students to devote themselves to acquiring practical skills.

High Commissioner Saba Zorome addressed the issue of aligning education with employment, pointing out the paradox of rising youth unemployment and skills shortages in various sectors. He stressed the need for schools to train individuals who are prepared for socio-professional life.

The day featured testimonies from successful professionals who shared their experiences with students, along with the presentation of certificates to participants and visits to exhibition booths displaying different professions. Through this initiative, the DPESFPT of Ziro aims to bolster the entrepreneurial and professional culture in schools, equipping young people for the realities of the job market.
