The National Itorero Commission says that there are preparations of getting university graduates placed in government institutions as volunteers to practice what they will have learnt at university, after which duration be presented with certificates of experience acquired from a particular institution. The certificate so acquired can be presented in the process of looking for jobs.
The youth comprise over 40% of Rwandan population while the University of Rwanda releases more than 8,000 graduates every year.
Talking to IGIHE, the chairman of National Itorero Commission, Boniface Rucagu said “We are planning voluntary activities of university graduates. Those who studied agronomy will go to sectors or cells, look at district’s services and help farmers whether in trainings or other support and get a certificate of what he/she has done after completing six months of service.”
Rucagu further said that these voluntary activities will capacitate graduates to compete at the labor market as they will have got a certificate proving pone’s experience.
Rucagu did not tell when the volunteering will start as there are some few challenges they need to address first.
