Fifty-four Cameroonian engineering students and construction workers have begun a training program combining professional certification with practical experience on projects operated by China First Highway Engineering Company (CFHEC). Participants will initially complete ten days of certified training in topography and land surveying, combining classroom instruction, practical exercises and site-based learning. They will then undertake a two-month internship on CFHEC construction projects in Cameroon. The program is being implemented under a tripartite agreement between the Ministry of Higher Education, ENSTP and CFHEC. CFHEC’s portfolio in Cameroon provides participants with access to some of the country’s largest road construction projects.
