CITEC, Cameroon Bilingual Centre for Information Technology and Consultancy is an offspring of AMINTEK SOLUTIONS INC. founded in 2002 in Canada by Mr Marvin Atabong Amin. AMINTEK SOLUTIONS INC is a Telecommunications Company operating in various domains of the TELECOMS industry, providing products and services to consumers and other Small and Medium Businesses (SMB's).

From 2002 to 2006, the development and conception of the structure of CITEC was done by the CEO of AMINTEK SOLUTIONS INC, Professor Martin Amin (then Commonwealth Professor of Research, Measurement and Evaluation at Makerere University in Uganda), Lecturers and graduate students in the Faculty of Computing at Makerere University. CITEC is also partnered with Amintek Solutions Inc. based out of Ottawa, Canada, for IT resources, Consultancy and Services. Although CITEC was originally conceived only as an IT Centre it now includes training and services in Management and Marketing.

CITEC, enterprising solutions to and awareness of  poverty alleviation is a project initiated by SMART TELECOM, with the aim of using the managerial approach to enhance access to the labour market and/or promote the creation of micro businesses by the youths. CITEC (Cameroon Bilingual Centre for Information Technology and Consultancy) is a community - based IT training CENTRE initiated by the General Manager of SMART TELECOM and since  2004 developed by a group of young men and women led by Prof Martin E Amin (then Commonwealth Professor of Research, Measurement & Evaluation  at Makerere University, Uganda), colleagues of the Faculty of Computing of Makerere University and those of  the  Makerere Business School.
The main objective of the project is to fight against poverty and reduce the high rate of unemployment among the youths in Cameroon, especially amongst the girls and women most exposed to social problems.

Our strategy is to impact marketable skills, i.e. technical skills that can help this vulnerable portion of the youth growing  up in our communities to better compete or “sell” in the very challenging labour market of today’s globalization age.

Information and Communication Technology is still in its infancy in Cameroon and thus there are lots of employment and self-employment opportunities both in Cameroon and in the central Africa sub-region where the economy of Cameroon plays the leading role. Also CITEC impacts practical knowledge on other hot selling trades such as computer and electronic appliances maintenance, computerized accounting and e-business, Networking, Cisco certification, Microsoft Certification, CompTIA A+ Certification, project planning,  marketing as well as business planning and management.
We are optimistic that the graduates of our different programs will not only be job seekers but job creators.
