Support project to technical training and employability in Rwanda (AFTER II)

Context

AFTER II was born out of a feasibility study that capitalised on and drew conclusions from the approach and results of AFTER I.

Overall objective

The overall objective of the "Rwanda Technical Training and Employability Support Project" (AFTER II) is to improve technical and vocational training and learning conditions in order to build the capacity of youth required by the labour market.

Project intervention strategy

The project is structured around four components:

• improvement and capacity building in four institutions (Integrated Polytechnic Regional College (IPRC) Karongi, Muhororo Vocational School, IPRC Kitabi and Cyanika Vocational School);
• upgrading and creating training courses;
  developing linkages with the private sector and graduate entrepreneurship; and
• strengthening the capacity of Rwanda Polytechnic and the Rwanda TVET Board.

Project beneficiaries

AFTER II will benefit the Republic of Rwanda and more specifically the four institutions mentioned above.
