Adequacy between Academic Training and Employment Opportunities in Lubumbashi, DRC

Josephine Muyumba Feza

Abstract: This article aims to show the adequacy between academic training and job opportunities in Lubumbashi, DRC, during the period from 2016 to 2018. It was based on data collected at the national employment office ( ONEM), thanks to the documentary technique. The processing of these data was done through the chi-square test. The main results of this survey show that 90 % of graduates from Lubumbashi Higher Education Institutions and Universities do not find employment in Lubumbashi. This situation results from the obsolescence of training programs that no longer respond to the realities of the job market.

Keywords: adequacy, academic training, employment
