The Minister of State in Charge of ICT and TVET Mrs Claudette IRERE officiated the launch of TVET public awareness campaign under the theme ‘’Join TVET to acquire technical skills for a brighter future’’
The overall objective of the proposed TVET Public Awareness Campaign is to rebrand TVET and change its Perception to contribute to the Rwandan Government aspiration of increasing the number of O’ Level/ 9YBE graduates joining TVET from the current 31% up to 60%.
S3 leavers will be sensitized to join TVET and facilitated to visit different TVET institutions to witness themselves what is being taught there and when back to their respective schools they will be Ambassadors to their fellows so that when they finish S3 they choose to join TVET.
TVET colleges mainly train young people to develop the skills, knowledge and attitudes that are needed in the labour market. They serve young people who want to enroll for vocational programmes after Grade 9 or after finishing school with a Grade 12, as well as learners who want to complete their schooling. (End)
