Djibouti, 29 April 2026 Dozens of young Djiboutians completed vocational training programmes Tuesday, as the government steps up youth employment efforts, state news agency ADI reported.
The graduation ceremony, held in Damerjog, Arta region, was attended by government officials and development stakeholders, according to the report.
The Djibouti Social Development Agency (ADDS) said the training programmes are designed to equip young people with skills that match labour market needs.
“These trainings respond to real market needs and are an essential tool for empowerment,” the agency’s director general said during the ceremony.
Officials urged the graduates to make use of the skills acquired to facilitate their integration into the workforce.
The initiative forms part of Djibouti’s broader social development programmes aimed at improving youth employability, ADI said.
ADDS said it would continue efforts to support vulnerable populations and expand access to employment opportunities for young people.
