Since some years SKOL Brewery Ltd has been funding some of the students of the University of Technology and Arts of Byumba (UTAB) whereby every year the company offers a 6 months professional internship to the best 2 undergraduate students to practice the theory learnt at school, and most of the time these interns become SBL employees at the end of the internship period basing on their performance.

Some of the students who benefited from this opportunity share their views;

Diane Dushimimana, Front Desk Officer says: "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.”

Alexis Hakizimana who is now HR Clerk at SKOL Brewery says: "It is a great opportunity to have a place and occasion to put in action what was acquired in university studies as it helps experience the profession. 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.”

Justin Byiringiro, HR Assistant at SKOL Brewery: "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, the fastest growing company in Rwanda.”

The Management of SKOL Brewery is happy that this support has helped different students and people in general throughout the years, as one of its goals is to contribute to the development of the Rwandan community.
