Empowering Youth: Tubah Council Initiates Long-Term Holiday Employment Program

In a proactive move to foster youth engagement and professional development, the Tubah Council successfully recruited nearly 200 students for the long-term holiday period as of Tuesday, 30th June 2026. This initiative captured in the image above underscores the local administration’s commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for the younger generation.

A Strategic Partnership for Civic Growth

A core component of this year’s program is a landmark partnership with the University of Bamenda. Through this collaboration, the students will be organized into groups of 50 to receive specialized training. This training will focus on:

• Civic Rights and Responsibilities: Empowering students to understand their roles and protections within the nation.

• Citizenship and Values: Instilling a sense of duty and community engagement.

A Consistent Priority Under Mayor Tanjong Martin

For Mayor Tanjong Martin, this recruitment drive is a staple of his administrative agenda. Supporting students during their long-term break has become a hallmark of his mandate, with the Mayor making it a top priority each year to ensure youth are actively engaged during the holiday season.

Defining the “Endimpact”

The term “endimpact,” as envisioned by this council program, refers to the lasting, positive transformation the initiative leaves on both the students and the community:

• Skill Acquisition: Students gain hands-on experience in public administration, environmental management, and community service, while simultaneously benefiting from the University of Bamenda’s pedagogical expertise.

• Economic Empowerment: By providing temporary employment, the council helps students offset personal or educational expenses, fostering a sense of financial autonomy.

• Community Cohesion: Bringing together nearly 200 students creates a vibrant network of young leaders who are invested in the development of Tubah.

• Constructive Engagement: Providing structured activities, combining work with civic education, keeps students productively engaged throughout the break.

Through these consistent efforts, the Tubah Council, under the leadership of Mayor Tanjong Martin, is effectively building a bridge between classroom learning and real-world application, ensuring a brighter, more engaged future for the youth of the municipality.
