Appui à la formation professionnelle duale au Rwanda
To achieve the development aspirations of Rwanda, one of the critical elements is to build strong bridges between the world of work and training institutions. This project aims to improve the quality of education by emphasizing on strengthening national mechanisms for decision-making, system integration and active engagement of the private sector in the skills development process. It will therefore focus more on institutionalization and sustainability by integrating all the stakeholders in a high-performance and locally adapted TVET system.

| Contexto | Rwanda has embarked on a structural transformative goal of becoming an upper middle-income country by 2035. Although the economy has grown steadily, with a depression in 2020 due to COVID-19, unemployment remains high. Statistics show that 16.5% of Rwanda's working population is unemployed and that 54% of the working population is officially unemployed but lives from subsistence farming (2023). To reach this ambitious goal, Rwanda aims to establish a dual apprenticeship system inspired by the systems that have proved successful in Switzerland, Germany and Austria. Based on the experience and lessons learned from a pilot project financed by the SDC, the Rwanda TVET Board (RTB), with the continued support of SDC, made a strategic decision to move from a pilot project to the national implementation of this technical and vocational training, adapted to the Rwandan context. |
| Objetivos | The aim of the project is to ensure that dual TVET in Rwanda is scaled up, sustained and institutionalized, leading to more young men and women (at least 40% female) to benefit from employment opportunities through the acquisition of skills that meet the requirements of the labour market. |
