Il apprend \u00e0 alimenter tout un continent en \u00e9nergie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Et au&nbsp;<strong>3e \u00e9dition de la Semaine des comp\u00e9tences en Afrique 2026<\/strong>&nbsp;C'est \u00e0 Harare, au Zimbabwe, qu'il a trouv\u00e9 l'\u00e9tincelle qui va le pousser \u00e0 aller de l'avant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La 3e \u00e9dition de l'Africa Skills Week est bien plus qu'une simple conf\u00e9rence. C'est un lieu de rencontre entre diff\u00e9rents acteurs \u2014 d\u00e9cideurs politiques, enseignants, entrepreneurs et jeunes \u2014, tous unis par une vision commune : une Afrique o\u00f9 les comp\u00e9tences sont le moteur du d\u00e9veloppement, de l'innovation et de la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pour Yosef, cette exp\u00e9rience a \u00e9t\u00e9 une v\u00e9ritable r\u00e9v\u00e9lation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c Mon exp\u00e9rience lors de la 3e \u00e9dition de l\u2019Africa Skills Week 2026 a \u00e9t\u00e9 source d\u2019inspiration, enrichissante et m\u00e9morable \u201d, d\u00e9clare-t-il. \u201c Elle m\u2019a permis de nouer des liens avec des personnes de diff\u00e9rents pays, de d\u00e9couvrir des initiatives innovantes en mati\u00e8re de d\u00e9veloppement des comp\u00e9tences et d\u2019explorer comment l\u2019enseignement et la formation techniques et professionnels (EFTP) peuvent contribuer au d\u00e9veloppement de l\u2019Afrique. \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ce mot \u2014&nbsp;<strong>EFTP<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 occupe une place centrale dans l\u2019histoire de Yosef. L\u2019enseignement et la formation techniques et professionnels (EFTP) sont souvent n\u00e9glig\u00e9s au profit des parcours scolaires traditionnels. Mais pour des jeunes comme Yosef, l\u2019EFTP n\u2019est pas un second choix. C\u2019est un s\u00e9same vers une carri\u00e8re \u00e9panouissante, des moyens de subsistance stables et la possibilit\u00e9 de contribuer au d\u00e9veloppement national.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Et l'Africa Skills Week 2026 l'a clairement d\u00e9montr\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L'un des principaux enseignements que Yosef a tir\u00e9s de cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement est que le d\u00e9veloppement des comp\u00e9tences doit aller au-del\u00e0 des connaissances th\u00e9oriques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c J'ai appris que le d\u00e9veloppement des comp\u00e9tences devait aller au-del\u00e0 des connaissances th\u00e9oriques et mettre l'accent sur les comp\u00e9tences pratiques, l'innovation et la r\u00e9solution de probl\u00e8mes concrets \u201d, explique-t-il.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">C'est une le\u00e7on qui trouve un \u00e9cho particulier dans le contexte africain. Trop souvent, les jeunes obtiennent leur dipl\u00f4me avec des certificats, mais sans les comp\u00e9tences pratiques n\u00e9cessaires pour r\u00e9ussir dans le monde du travail. Ils savent r\u00e9citer des th\u00e9ories, mais ne savent pas r\u00e9parer des moteurs. Ils r\u00e9ussissent leurs examens, mais ne savent pas r\u00e9soudre de probl\u00e8mes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yosef est bien d\u00e9cid\u00e9 \u00e0 se d\u00e9marquer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En tant qu'\u00e9tudiant en \u00e9lectricit\u00e9 et \u00e9lectronique automobile, il apprend \u00e0 diagnostiquer les pannes, \u00e0 r\u00e9parer les syst\u00e8mes et \u00e0 concevoir des solutions \u2014 des comp\u00e9tences tr\u00e8s recherch\u00e9es dans toute l'Afrique, alors que le continent investit dans les infrastructures, les transports et l'industrie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Et il ne compte pas s'arr\u00eater l\u00e0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Une autre le\u00e7on essentielle que Yosef a tir\u00e9e de l'Africa Skills Week 2026 est l'importance de la collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c J\u2019ai appris que la collaboration et le partage d\u2019exp\u00e9riences entre les pays sont essentiels pour faire progresser le d\u00e9veloppement de l\u2019Afrique \u201d, d\u00e9clare-t-il.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00c0 Harare, Yosef a rencontr\u00e9 des participants venus de tout le continent : des jeunes dot\u00e9s de comp\u00e9tences, de points de vue et de r\u00eaves diff\u00e9rents. Il a d\u00e9couvert des initiatives innovantes en mati\u00e8re de d\u00e9veloppement des comp\u00e9tences. Il a examin\u00e9 comment l'enseignement et la formation techniques et professionnels (EFTP) peuvent contribuer au d\u00e9veloppement de l'Afrique. Il a constat\u00e9 de ses propres yeux que les d\u00e9fis auxquels sont confront\u00e9s les jeunes en \u00c9thiopie ne sont pas si diff\u00e9rents de ceux auxquels sont confront\u00e9s les jeunes au Zimbabwe, en Zambie ou ailleurs sur le continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Et cette prise de conscience m'a donn\u00e9 de la force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c J\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 particuli\u00e8rement marqu\u00e9 par l\u2019importance de doter les jeunes de comp\u00e9tences pratiques et de leur offrir des opportunit\u00e9s de s\u2019investir au sein de leurs communaut\u00e9s \u201d, explique-t-il.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cette inspiration est devenue une mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yosef ne se contente pas d'acqu\u00e9rir des connaissances. Il est d\u00e9termin\u00e9 \u00e0 les mettre en pratique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c Je compte mettre en pratique ces enseignements dans mes \u00e9tudes et mes projets techniques, en \u00e9laborant des solutions concr\u00e8tes aux d\u00e9fis auxquels est confront\u00e9e la communaut\u00e9 et en encourageant d\u2019autres jeunes \u00e0 mettre \u00e0 profit leurs comp\u00e9tences et leur cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9 pour avoir un impact positif \u201d, explique-t-il.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ces paroles t\u00e9moignent d'une maturit\u00e9 bien sup\u00e9rieure \u00e0 son \u00e2ge. Yosef comprend que les comp\u00e9tences ne servent pas uniquement \u00e0 son int\u00e9r\u00eat personnel. Elles visent \u00e0 l'\u00e9panouissement de la communaut\u00e9. Au d\u00e9veloppement national. \u00c0 la transformation du continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Il souhaite mettre ses comp\u00e9tences techniques au service de la r\u00e9solution de probl\u00e8mes concrets : r\u00e9parer ce qui ne fonctionne pas, construire ce dont on a besoin, am\u00e9liorer ce qui peut l'\u00eatre. Et il souhaite inciter d'autres jeunes \u00e0 faire de m\u00eame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">La r\u00e9volution de l'enseignement et de la formation professionnels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L'histoire de Yosef s'inscrit dans un mouvement plus large qui touche toute l'Afrique : la prise de conscience croissante que l'enseignement et la formation techniques et professionnels (EFTP) ne constituent pas une solution de secours, mais une voie vers la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Partout sur le continent, les gouvernements, les acteurs de l\u2019\u00e9ducation et les partenaires du d\u00e9veloppement investissent comme jamais auparavant dans la formation technique et professionnelle. Ils construisent des \u00e9coles polytechniques, \u00e9quipent des ateliers et nouent des partenariats avec le monde de l\u2019industrie. Ils reconnaissent que le d\u00e9veloppement de l\u2019Afrique repose sur une main-d\u2019\u0153uvre qualifi\u00e9e \u2014 \u00e9lectriciens, m\u00e9caniciens, techniciens, ing\u00e9nieurs \u2014 capable de construire, d\u2019entretenir et d\u2019innover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yosef fait partie de ces futurs travailleurs qualifi\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Et sa participation \u00e0 l'Africa Skills Week 2026 est un signe de ce qui nous attend : une g\u00e9n\u00e9ration de jeunes Africains fiers de leur m\u00e9tier, s\u00fbrs de leurs comp\u00e9tences et pr\u00eats \u00e0 apporter leur contribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00c0 retenir : les comp\u00e9tences qui font avancer un continent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L'histoire de Yosef Dechasa nous rappelle que l'avenir de l'Afrique ne se construira pas uniquement \u00e0 coups de th\u00e9orie. Il se construira gr\u00e2ce au travail manuel. Gr\u00e2ce aux comp\u00e9tences. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 des jeunes qui n'ont pas peur de se salir les mains, d'apprendre un m\u00e9tier, de ma\u00eetriser un savoir-faire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yosef fait partie de ces jeunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Il est arriv\u00e9 \u00e0 Harare en tant qu'\u00e9tudiant.

Il emporte en lui une motivation renouvel\u00e9e, un engagement en faveur de l\u2019apprentissage tout au long de la vie, ainsi qu\u2019une vision d\u2019une Afrique o\u00f9 chaque jeune dispose des comp\u00e9tences n\u00e9cessaires pour se construire une vie meilleure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le moteur du d\u00e9veloppement de l'Afrique ne r\u00e9side ni dans le p\u00e9trole ni dans les minerais.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On la retrouve chez des jeunes comme Yosef Dechasa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Et ce n'est que le d\u00e9but.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Yosef Dechasa est \u00e9tudiant en \u00e9lectricit\u00e9 et \u00e9lectronique automobile \u00e0 l'\u00e9cole polytechnique Tegbare-id d'Addis-Abeba et participe au programme FAWE \u00c9thiopie dans le cadre de la phase 2 du programme FAWE\/Fondation Mastercard.
