Despite a very strong evolution, the telecommunications sector in Africa still has a lot of progress to make. Satellite, cable and mobile technologies have generated high recruitment needs.
For this sector, the rise of digital technologies means the ability to extend to other productive sectors. Across Africa, companies and startups develop high-tech solutions to simplify life for local users: creation of digital platforms, electronic payment tools, reservation tools, GPS, remote monitoring, access to e-services , data transmission and information etc.
Behind agribusiness, the telecommunications sector is the second employer in the continent. And unlike agribusiness, there is a lack of qualified candidates to bring more value to this sector.
Indeed, Africa seems to have been surprised by the digital revolution for not having tried to anticipate and put the post-graduate training programmes in tune with the professions of telecommunications earlier. Despite much progress, the training offer is not sufficient in terms of quality or quantity, to allow a top productivity level in the sector. Some countries succeed better than other, such as Morocco.
Therefore, foreign expertise is greatly appreciated when looking for talents in this sector, especially those in the African diaspora. Many among them chose to return to Africa after graduating in western universities, for a successful career in telecommunication companies operating in the continent.
Recruiters in this sector still have their eyes on this growing demand for talented workers in the telecommunications sector. Many job opportunities for key positions in telecommunications companies in Africa still are waiting to be picked up. The most sought-after profiles are:
