The cohort was trained in painting, tiling and masonry, the skills which will help them compete on the labour market. Graduates received their certificates at the headquarters of IPRC- East in Ngoma District, last week.<\/p>\n
The training was offered under \u2018TVET partnership project\u2019 programme supported by German Chamber of Skilled Crafts (CSC), the Association of Contractors (AEBTP), Workforce Development Authority (WDA) and IPRC East.<\/p>\n
TVET stands for Technical and Vocational Education and Training.<\/p>\n
The programme aims at skills and capacity development where students learn and they do internships in different companies through the programme known as \u2018dual training\u2019.<\/p>\n
The Vice-Principal in charge of Academics and Training at IPRC-East, Eng. Rita Clemence Mutabazi said there is need for more in the programme to tackle the shortage of qualified employees on the labour market.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have witnessed the difference between existing teaching system and dual training. I am optimistic that if more efforts were invested in this programme, it would result in sustainable solution for qualified employees,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The \u2019TVET partnership project\u2019 coordinator, Matti Tomingas affirmed that trainees are well skilled and urged them to choose either being employed, creating their own businesses or to continue learning.<\/p>\n
The six-year project was launched in Rwanda in 2014 and will end in 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
