This project supports existing training structures that offer support to the most vulnerable segment of the population, including returnees, namely the Centers for Professional Training (CFP). These centers offer various training courses, such as masonry, hotel management, carpentry, electronics, sewing, among others. This project will work on two axes:
 

  1. Support the CFPs of Conakry to strengthen their capacity to give quality courses on the Management of Small and Medium Enterprises (SME, in French: GPME) and to promote them to students. Through a training of trainers, 5 CFPs of Conakry will be able to offer GPME courses to students and migrants referred by IOM.
  2. To support some 40 vulnerable students of the CFP of Conakry and migrants who have returned to Guinea from Switzerland and Niger in their socio-professional reintegration by supporting them individually and in groups that decide to open a business together, through support kits and advice. This approach is part of a socio-economic stabilization of young people from the CFP, the returnees from Switzerland and Niger and contributes to the promotion of self-employment.
