Entrepreneurial Spirit and The Future of Young University Students in Congo: Professional Qualifications Degrees Awarded by Congolese Universities

For centuries, the university has presented itself as the source of knowledge and new learning. In this regard, pursuing a university education represents a dream of fulfillment for most young people in Congo-Kinshasa. Unfortunately, this wild dream fades away as soon as they graduate, leaving them with a worthless degree and the looming specter of unemployment. How, then, can this situation be turned around? Will the solution come from the government, the young graduate themselves, or society at large? Are there entrepreneurial ideas that the new generation can rely on? Do young university graduates in Congo-Kinshasa ultimately embody the entrepreneurial spirit? These are the very questions that explain the purpose of this book. Several avenues are explored, ranging from the issues and challenges of unemployment in the region, the state of university education, and the concept of the value of a university degree, all the way to modeling innovative initiatives.
