The signing of short-term employment contracts seems to have become the norm for several decades. There are several reasons to explain this: the weakness of demand that companies are facing alongside with increasing impoverishment, the requirement of shareholder profitability, the cut-throat competition, robotization, the labor supply superiority to the labor demand, etc. This paper focuses on understanding why some workers have stable jobs despite the reasons given. To achieve this goal, data was obtained from 2016 National Survey of the Situation of Employment and the Informal Sector (NSSEIS) in Côte d'Ivoire. With the help of a binary probit model based on selection, the paper concludes that a higher level of education, the knowledge of another language other than the official language, and the knowledge of NICT which is a criteria in curricula are significant explanatory factors for obtaining stable employments after a two-year period. The workers in the industrial and service sectors, as well as workers in union-based firms are more likely to obtain stable jobs. Based on these results, the paper recommends higher level of training and the implementation of easing measures by the public authorities for the acquisition of computer equipment in the training centers and / or individually. This would make the computer learning more practical than theoretical in learning the foreign languages needed in a globalized labor market.
