CAMTEL just onboarded 127 fresh graduates through their youth employment scheme after putting them through a two-week bootcamp covering telecom basics and field work. The recruits came from 270 applicants across Cameroonian universities and got trained on fiber optic splicing, copper installations, network troubleshooting, and service quality standards before hitting actual job sites.
The program ties into President Paul Biya's push for youth empowerment, which he talked about during his swearing-in ceremony. General Manager Judith Yah Sunday Epse Achidi told the new hires to bring professionalism and solid work ethics as they start their 12-month stints. Performance targets are set pretty high with three-day FTTH installation windows, sub-24-hour incident resolution times, and a 95 percent customer satisfaction floor that they need to maintain.
