The Project | CETI - Center of Technological and Industrial Excellence

Our Vision

The Center of Technological and Industrial Excellence (CETI) in Koupéla is an ambitious project led by KABORE Alain Noel Kibsa, aimed at meeting the growing need for qualified workforce in Burkina Faso's strategic sectors.

Located in Koupéla, a strategic crossroads in the East of the country, CETI will train 500 young people per year in 10 strategic programs with a practical approach (70% hands-on) and recognized professional certifications.

Our goal: to become the reference center for professional training in West Africa, thus contributing to the industrial development of the region and the Alliance of Sahel States (AES).
