This innovative mechanism now allows students to couple their academic degree with an international professional certification validated by the construction firm, thus transforming the status of graduates from mere theorists into experts immediately deployable on construction sites.

The uniqueness of this convention lies in the adoption of the 70/20/10 pedagogical model, a learning architecture that prioritizes empirical experience. In this configuration, 70% of the training is conducted through total immersion on production sites, 20% through interactive mentoring, and only 10% through conventional theoretical teaching. For CFHEC, a road engineering behemoth with 25,000 employees and the lead contractor for the Yaoundé-Douala highway, this commitment goes beyond simple philanthropy to become a vector for technological transfer. By opening the doors of its infrastructure to state universities, the Chinese company is actively participating in forging a national workforce capable of steering the complex projects of tomorrow without depending exclusively on external expertise.

This partnership is part of an intensive professionalization dynamic dictated by the imperatives of the National Development Strategy (SND30). Receiving the endorsement of the rectors and vice-chancellors present at the ceremony, the framework agreement ensures a synergy between the academic world and the productive sector, guaranteeing that university curricula are finally aligned with industrial realities. Through this prism, the Cameroon of 2026 is no longer content with merely educating graduates but is shaping "Job-Ready" profiles capable of sustaining the infrastructural growth of the country and the sub-region. This alliance between MINESUP and CFHEC thus outlines the contours of a new era where skills certification becomes the true key to professional integration.
