IVORY COAST : Bolloré Transport & Logistics offers a scholarship in France to an Ivorian student
Ange-Paola OUANHI, a first year student at the Centre de Formation Professionnelle (CFP) in San Pedro, southwestern Côte d’Ivoire, received a scholarship on August 30, 2021 in Abidjan. She is one of the best students in boiler making in the country.
This scholarship will allow the young student to complete a 2-year training in boiler making, leading to a certificate of professional competence (CAP) at the Institut de Formation Technique de l’Ouest (IFTO), based in Cholet, France, thanks to the partnership established with the institution since its creation.
Aged 18, Ange-Paola was selected from among the best boilermaking students in Côte d’Ivoire following a very rigorous selection process, which began in April 2021 with tests and file analysis, and ended with an evaluation before a final jury, composed of representatives of Bolloré Transport & Logictics, CARENA (a subsidiary of Bolloré Port) and IFTO.
I was at the top in my class. I love making things with my own hands. That’s what I like about boiler making. You make things with techniques you learn every day and some come naturally.
