Twenty young women from Côte d'Ivoire have been selected to undergo training in civil aviation professions in Morocco, according to the Agence Ivoirienne de Presse (AIP). The selection was made under the Dominique Ouattara Excellence Scholarship program, an initiative that supports the education and professional development of young Ivorians.
The scholarship, named after the First Lady of Côte d'Ivoire, aims to provide opportunities for talented students to pursue higher education and specialized training abroad. This particular cohort will focus on civil aviation, a field that offers diverse career paths including piloting, air traffic control, aircraft maintenance, and airport management.
The training in Morocco is expected to equip the selected candidates with the skills needed to contribute to Côte d'Ivoire's growing aviation sector. The AIP report did not specify the duration of the program or the institutions involved.
This initiative is part of broader efforts to empower young women in Côte d'Ivoire and address gender gaps in technical and vocational fields. Similar scholarship programs have supported studies in various disciplines, but details about the aviation training remain limited.
