Background<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The employment situation in Cameroon is characterized by underemployment. The proliferation of the informal sector is one of the factors that explain this phenomenon. The informal sector employs about 90% of the active population. Youth are increasingly struggling to occupy decent positions within the various administrations because of a number of barriers, including the inadequacy of the quality of the workforce in relation to the human resources required by the economy, but much more because of the non-compliance of enterprises with the regulations on labor standards. In implementing its new National Development Strategy 2020-2030 (NDS30), the government\u2019s main concern is to \u201cachieve full and productive employment and guarantee all women and men, including youths and people with disabilities, decent work and equal pay for work of equal value. Indeed, although they have appropriate levels of education for the jobs they want, youths and women still need better trainings to prepare them for the job market. To support youths and women and help them access decent jobs, the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Center (SBEC) of the Denis and Lenora Foretia Foundation is implementing a project titled \u201cPowering Prosperity and Economic Freedom for Women and Youths in Cameroon\u201d. This project offers in selected regions of Cameroon, intensive Bootcamps that combine technical training workshops, job applications and interview strategies, experiential work-based learning opportunities and skills to improve the overall work performance. This Job Preparedness Bootcamp will be organized on a quarterly basis in each of the four target regions.<\/p>\n
