The PROMESS project is run by the Thiès-based association "Une Lumière Dans La Rue". The association is responsible for day-to-day management of the training center, pedagogical coordination of training courses and liaison with institutions and authorities, as well as organizing and facilitating post-training follow-up and networking among entrepreneurs.

• This strategic orientation was adopted for a number of reasons: the desire not to saturate the market in and around Thiès; the need for electrification in other parts of the country; and the need for a skilled and competent workforce to meet these needs.

• In terms of training, PROMESS has so far graduated 162 people, 42 women and 120 men.
• To reinforce the practical aspect, which is already a dominant feature of the training program, the center's teaching equipment has been expanded with the addition of 2 practical benches (simulating a domestic installation and simulating a pumping system).

• In the current phase 3, graduates came from 4 regions of the country: Fatick (7 graduates: 3 women, 4 men), Louga (9 graduates: 4 women, 5 men), Saint-Louis (8 graduates: 3 women, 5 men) and Tambacounda (8 graduates: 4 women, 4 men).
• The curricula for VT (Pumping training) have been revised and the hourly volume reduced to 93 hours, of which more than 50% is practical. 22 out of 24 learners (9 women, 13 men) have graduated from the pumping course since the start of phase 3.
• An interesting trend in terms of work camps, carried out by trainees during their studies with various companies, shows that the most active PROMESS graduates are now offering to host trainees on work camps.
• Over 100 companies have been canvassed since the third quarter of 2024. Around 15 of them have met (face-to-face or videoconference) to give a presentation of PROMESS and the advantages of the training program, particularly in terms of practical experience. 5 of them visited the center at the end of 2024, inaugurating a series of similar events in the months to come.

• An agreement has been signed between a first company and PROMESS. The aim of these agreements is to formalize the relationship on employment issues. In particular, companies undertake to share job and subcontracting opportunities with PROMESS, which are then circulated to the alumni network.

• Une convention a été signée entre une première entrepris et PROMESS. ces conventions visent à formaliser la relation sur les questions d’emploi. Les entreprises s’engagent notamment à partager avec PROMESS les opportunités d’emplois ou de sous-traitance, diffusées ensuite dans le réseau des diplômés.

• The Trajectoires survey provided more information for over 60% of graduates (survey respondents): more than half of them (58% for men, 50% for women) are in an entrepreneurial situation (micro-enterprise, formal or informal); 12% of women and 5% of men have an employment contract. The results are interesting, and future surveys will enable us to verify the effectiveness of post-training activities.
