ENGINEERING ACADEMY
Engineering Talent Programme
Structured IT and embedded systems training in Cameroon. 49 engineers trained across 2 cohorts, 100% employed.
Clemios is an eMobility software engineering partner delivering EV charging, OCPP, embedded, and test-ready systems through dedicated engineering teams for German and EU companies.
English is the working language for all engineering and delivery activities at Clemios.
How the Programme Works
Each cohort follows a structured, full-time programme refined based on real delivery outcomes.
The Clemios Academy provides structured engineering training for high-potential graduates entering the IT and embedded systems domain. Each cohort follows a defined curriculum covering foundational modules, advanced specialisations, international certifications, and supervised project work.
Cohort 1 and 2 were delivered in partnership with adorsys, a German technology company, covering Cloud Computing, DevOps, Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, and Agile Methodologies. Clemios managed operations, logistics, and trainee support. Cohort 1 ran for 12 months; Cohort 2 was extended to 18 months after real-world deployment showed graduates needed more preparation time. All 49 graduates transitioned to full employment.
For Cohort 3, Clemios will expand its role to training delivery partner, leading the Embedded Software Development track alongside adorsys and other German and Cameroonian industry partners. The programme will be co-funded through the develoPPP initiative.
All trainees complete the full programme and pass internal assessment before being assigned to any project. No trainee is deployed during the training phase.

Cohort 3: 100 Trainees, 2026
100 trainees planned across 18 months of intensive training followed by a 6-month managed internship. The programme will be delivered by a consortium led by adorsys, Clemios, and SkyEngPro, in academic partnership with Université des Montagnes. Trainees will earn a minimum of 4 international certifications and a GIS diploma with academic credit towards a dual bachelor degree.
- Cloud Computing and DevOps
- Embedded Software Development (Clemios-led)
- AI-Assisted Development
- Data Science and MLOps
- Cybersecurity and Agile Engineering
The full curriculum also covers Rust Programming, Blockchain Applications, Ethics and AI Safety, and Professional Technical English. Certification providers include AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and LPI.
Since 2017: 300+ Youth Trained
Before Clemios, Merlin Tonka volunteered with organisations to train 300+ African youth in software development. The Clemios Academy builds on that foundation with structured, employment-focused engineering training aligned to industrial project requirements. Clemios operates as a social enterprise focused on inclusive digital workforce development in Cameroon.
Frequently Asked Questions
