Higher education: artificial intelligence and employability at the heart of youth training

For the 2026–2027 academic year, SWISS UMEF Côte d’Ivoire outlined its strategic priorities at a press conference held on October 19 at its Riviera Bonoumin campus in Abidjan. Operating in Côte d’Ivoire since 2018, the institution has between 1,100 and 1,200 bachelor’s and master’s students across four fields of study. Executive director Didier Garzotto announced internships from the first year, a Career Center, and a week dedicated to businesses to support graduates’ employment prospects. The school also plans to integrate artificial intelligence more fully into its programs to prepare students for changing jobs and employer needs.
