The ceremony to receive their diplomas marks the beginning of their professional career

Their sponsor, William Ouédraogo, Director of Human Resources at IAMGOLD Essakane, is convinced of their skills. He maintains that the students who graduate from the institute are well-prepared for their professional life. In order to succeed in their professional insertion, William Ouédraogo invited his godchildren to be courageous, and persevering, and to always cultivate excellence in everything they undertake.

“Show discipline, punctuality, integrity, teamwork, and humility. This is how you will become key players in the economic and industrial development of Burkina Faso,” he added to them. It should be noted that a partnership agreement signed between ISGE and Essakane in April 2022, allows students to benefit from internship offers and scholarships for their training.

The patron of the graduation ceremony, T. Issa Somé, Secretary General of the Ministry of Higher Education, urged the new graduates to prepare themselves psychologically for their entry into the professional world which has become very competitive. He also invited them to work and perseverance, and to arm themselves with the courage to face the world of work, made of daily challenges. Issa Traoré did not fail to praise the quality of the training offered by the ISGE-BF, which he described as “a reference school in electrical engineering in terms of quality, seriousness, and respect for the provisions of the specifications issued by the Ministry of Education.

Lionel Nikièma, the representative of the students, expressed his gratitude and that of his comrades to the teaching staff, for the quality of the training received. Together, they pledged to pursue the ideals of excellence of the institute to always contribute to its reputation. The graduation ceremony also served as a framework to reward the best students of the different training courses, who received encouragement prizes and scholarships, offered by the partner companies of ISGE-BF.

As a reminder, the ISGE-BF was created in 2003 at the initiative of the Chamber of Commerce and Crafts of Burkina. Its objective is to train and provide companies with qualified human resources in the fields of industrial electricity and renewable energy, industrial maintenance, and digital technology.
