The second edition of Chad’s National Employment Forum (FNE) will take place from November 10 to 12, 2026, at the Radisson Blu Hotel in N’Djamena. The event will bring together young people, employers, entrepreneurs and institutions to discuss employment and professional opportunities.
First held in 2024, the forum aims to strengthen cooperation between public institutions, businesses, training centres and development partners to promote youth employment and entrepreneurship.
This year’s theme, “Promoting Youth Employment Towards the Jobs of the Future,” highlights emerging sectors such as digital technology, solar energy, agroecology, the circular economy and innovative crafts. The programme will focus on skills development and opportunities in these sectors.
Organisers aim to mobilise 2,000 employment opportunities, with at least 30 percent in green sectors. The forum will also review the implementation of recommendations from the 2024 edition.
Activities will include the National Employment Fair, business-to-business meetings, job-dating sessions, masterclasses, project presentations and the Business Lounge. These activities will give participants opportunities to meet employers, exchange ideas and explore potential partnerships.
The forum forms part of broader national efforts to address employment challenges. It aligns with the Tchad Connexion 2030 National Development Plan, particularly Programme No. 5, which focuses on education, vocational training, youth and employment.
The event will take place as young people continue to seek access to jobs, practical training and pathways into the labour market.
