Below, dockworkers signal, and a container inches into place. Inside the cab, the trainee’s hands are steady - weeks of classroom modules, simulator drills, and supervised lifts have led to this moment. When the container lands and the spreader unlocks, the team on the ground smiles. For one young operator, it’s one more successful lift. For Djibouti, it is proof that when skills training is aligned with real market demand, it turns into real jobs. https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2026/04/20/where-training-meets-opportunity-djibouti-s-path-from-skills-to-jobs © 2026 World Bank Group,
