The Direction de l’Orientation, des Bourses et de la Mobilité (DOBM) is a Côte d’Ivoire public service focused on student guidance, scholarships and educational mobility, particularly within technical and vocational education and training. It supports learners and institutions with orientation information, placement results and guidance on training and career pathways. Its online resources include occupational profiles covering fields such as hospitality, engineering, construction, fisheries, business, administration, beauty and wellbeing.

The DOBM also manages information and application processes for domestic and international scholarships. Students can consult eligibility criteria, required documents and conditions for new awards or renewals, including scholarships for study abroad. The published guidance outlines eligible qualifications and study levels, academic requirements and other selection considerations. Dedicated online spaces serve students, educational institutions and embassies, while the department provides support for application follow-up and processing.

Through its orientation, scholarship and mobility activities, the DOBM aims to strengthen access to training and help align educational choices with Côte d’Ivoire’s development priorities.
