Some of the students who benefited from this opportunity share their views highlighting that acquired skills have been very helpful enhancing their competencies at the labour market.
“SKOL’s internship has helped me acquire practical skills which were key elements in starting my career after graduating. It also allowed me to get a picture of how work is done. In general, getting a degree is not only enough, but professional internship is also very important in the job market these days,” said Diane Dushimimana, a Front Desk Officer.
Alexis Hakizimana who is now HR Clerk at SKOL Brewery revealed that the professional internship is a great opportunity to have a place and occasion to put in action what he acquired from university and get hands on skills.
“It brings confidence that the hustler we do, the greater we benefit and is a great pleasure and motivating to the graduand getting the professional internship which leads to the permanent employment,” he said.
Justin Byiringiro, who serves as HR Assistant at SKOL Brewery disclosed that the internship helped him to achieve his dreams.
“I had a dream of doing internship in a big company in Rwanda as a way of uplifting my skills and probably getting a good job and my dream was fulfilled on my graduation ceremony in 2017, when I was honored the first-class finalist in social work and awarded internship opportunity by Ivan Wulffaert, the CEO of SKOL Brewery Ltd.
After completing my internship, I was given a permanent job in logistics and later in Human Resources where I work today. I am so grateful for the opportunity given to me which I consumed at maximum, and which has led to my permanent employment. It is my pleasure to work for SKOL Brewery Ltd, one of fastest growing companies in Rwanda.”
The Management of SKOL Brewery is happy that this support has helped different students and the community in general throughout the years, as one of its goals is to contribute to the development of the Rwandan community.
