Programme d’appui à l’apprentissage sur le lieu de travail et à la création d’emplois décents

The programme will support the implementation of dual training and the development of tailor-made support for dual training and TVET graduates to find or create decent jobs. In this way, APEFE wishes to enable young Rwandan women and men to access decent work and thus fight against poverty. Final beneficiaries are young women and men (18 - 30 years) from Musanze, Huye and Gatsibo districts as well as the 3 districts of Kigali-City, Nyarugenge, Gasabo and Kicukiro, who have completed lower 9-year or 12-year basic education, university or tertiary education, and who are vulnerable, with priority given to young women and people with disabilities The outcome will be met by strengthening : 1) the quality of dual training provision by 9 TVET Schools in collaboration with companies in the trades of food processing, fashion and beauty; 2) the services offered by employment and business development services; 3) District Offices to enhance the coordination of actors and ensure adequacy between skills offer local and national labour market demand; 4) the chambers and professional associations to mobilise and capacitate companies to contribute to dual training. The programme will promote gender equity through ensuring that both young men and women acquire skills needed in the labour marker and get employment. As young women are more stricken by unemployment, the programme aims at reaching more women (60%) then men. Also, the different stakeholders will be sensitized to gender equity and gender-based violence to create a positive environment for all in schools and the workplace, and avoid early or unplanned pregnancies. The programme will support stakeholders to create decent work opportunities, through promoting decent work in companies and capacitating youth to access income generative jobs. Finally, digitalisation will be used to enhance distance learning for youth and distance professional development for young entrepreneurs and job seekers. Young Rwandan, women and men, with adequate skills access or create decent jobs of their choice in TVET trades in 6 districts ( Kigali City, Huye, Musanze, Gatsibo)
