GT LAB Tour: Moov Africa Gabon Télécom trains 823 young people in digital skills

A new chapter is opening for Gabon's digital transformation. At the end of October 2025, Moov Africa Gabon Telecom completed this year's edition of its flagship GT LAB programme, which since 2017 has trained and certified 3,823 people in digital careers: artificial intelligence, Big Data, cybersecurity, web design… skills that make GT LAB a genuine passport to employment, opening up concrete career opportunities and boosting the local entrepreneurial ecosystem.

"GT LAB is much more than training; it is a strong commitment to Gabonese youth and to our country's digital future," says Léa SEKY OLOUNA, Head of Communications at Moov Africa Gabon Telecom.

This statement perfectly sums up the philosophy of the initiative: to train, certify and support talent so that they become active players in Gabon's digital economy.

Strategic skills for a fast-changing market

The GT LAB TOUR 2025 sessions covered a wide range of strategic topics: artificial intelligence, Big Data, cybersecurity, web design, digital marketing and digital solution development. The initiative goes beyond passing on knowledge: it combines a hands-on approach, innovation and tailored teaching, enabling participants to turn their skills into a real professional asset.

For many beneficiaries, GT LAB certification is a genuine passport to employment. Several former participants have not only found their place in the job market but have also set up their own start-ups, bringing new energy to the local entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Inclusive, transformative training

This year alone, GT LAB TOUR trained 823 participants across Port-Gentil, Libreville and Oyem. The initiative stands out for its inclusiveness: nearly 49% of participants are aged 26 to 35, 23% are unemployed and 28% are still students. This diversity ensures the training reaches young talent as well as professionals changing careers and entrepreneurs, opening up digital careers to all.

Participants' testimonials

Nathalie NZEYI NDINGUI, cybersecurity module participant: "This training helped me better understand how social media works and how to protect myself online. Today I feel more confident and responsible in my use of digital tools."

Pierre Philbert GAMBY, trained in Big Data: "The richness of the content opens up prospects in the jobs of the future. We can now aim for positions in any company handling large volumes of data."

Ludmila Gertrude, graphic designer changing careers: "Thanks to the Data Science and cybersecurity training, I have gained skills that now allow me to analyse data and adopt better digital practices."

A nationwide expansion for lasting impact

Faced with growing demand, GT LAB TOUR 2025 began expanding to the provinces, including Port-Gentil, Moanda and Oyem. The goal is clear: to give every Gabonese person, wherever they live, access to quality digital training. Moov Africa Gabon Telecom is already preparing the next stage of GT LAB. The programme will broaden its catalogue to emerging fields and develop partnerships with universities and the private sector, in order to maximise the employability of future graduates.
