Not too long ago, if you knew how to type a simple document or send an email, you were considered computer literate enough to land a decent job. But things have changed. Employers today want more.
They’re looking for people who can do more than open Microsoft Word or check their inbox. They want digital marketers who know how to pull in customers online. Accountants who can comfortably use modern accounting software without blinking twice. Managers who understand how technology affects every single part of a business.
In short? Digital skills aren’t just an advantage anymore. They’re a necessity.
Why does this matter so much now?
Because whether you’re running your own tailoring shop, managing a boutique in Bonamoussadi, working in an office in Yaoundé, or planning to migrate for better opportunities — technology is part of your day-to-day life.
Here are a few real ways digital skills are reshaping careers in Cameroon:
✅ Creating new job opportunities – Social media managers, digital marketers, website content creators… people are making money right from their phones or laptops.
✅ Making businesses more efficient – Employers want staff who know how to use digital tools to save time, reduce mistakes, and keep customers happy.
✅ Expanding career options – With digital skills, you can work remotely for companies abroad, serve international clients, or start your own online business.
✅ Boosting employability – Job seekers with practical digital knowledge stand out quickly. Employers notice them first.
