Gov’t recommits to skills development

RUBAVU - The Government of Rwanda yesterday renewed its commitment to focus on skills development, in particular, urgently investing in vocational training. This was reached on the third day of the on-going National Leadership Retreat taking place at Kivu Serena Hotel in Rubavu District. A review of the recent skills audit report cited a critical lack of skilled technicians in every sector. The retreat tasked the Rwanda Workforce Development Authority (WDA), established in 2008, to lead the initiative which will include, among other actions, immediate realignment of training and education to Rwanda’s labour requirements.
