Yesterday, RTB Deputy Director General @AgaBisengo welcomed a delegation from Fondazione Marcegaglia ETS, Italy, led by Secretary General Chiara Alluisini, as part of the organization's 10th anniversary of operations in Rwanda.
The meeting provided an opportunity to reflect on a decade of partnership and its contribution to skills development in Rwanda. Over the past 10 years, Fondazione Marcegaglia ETS has empowered more than 1,271 youth, distributed 278 enterprise toolkits, and supported the establishment of 561 micro-businesses.
Discussions focused on strengthening workforce development and exploring future investments in TVET, including plans to establish a Vocational Training Centre of Excellence in Bugesera District and deepen collaboration with RTB to deliver quality short-course TVET programmes.
Both parties reaffirmed their shared commitment to equipping Rwanda's youth with market-relevant skills and expanding opportunities for decent employment, entrepreneurship, and sustainable livelihoods.
@RTB_Rwanda@Ubukerarugendo True. Industry-Based Training (IBT) is a potential TVET approach when it comes to practical skills. It easily integrates the knowledge and skills directly in industry.

Today, members of RTB Management Team, led by DG @PUmukunzi, visited Father Ramon Kabuga TVET School and ES Kinazi TSS to assess the progress of ongoing construction works being implemented under Rwanda TVET Board.
After the tour at both schools, he emphasized the need to accelerate the works to ensure the projects are completed within the agreed timeline.
Concluding the discussions, the Minister of Education, @JoNsengimana, reaffirmed that Dual TVET is becoming a preferred pathway for young people, as it equips them with real workplace experience and job-ready skills, helping to close the skills gap.
He underscored that education and skills development remain central to Rwanda’s long-term transformation, calling for stronger collaboration across government, the private sector, and development partners to scale up the impact of Dual TVET, build on the growing momentum of its recognition as a viable opportunity for youth, and ensure it becomes not just an option, but a clear pathway to employment and national development.
Today, we hosted a high-level breakfast meeting bringing together government, private sector, Development Partners and civil society leaders to strengthen collaboration in skills development and advance the Dual TVET system in Rwanda.
The meeting, organized in collaboration with @NARwanda under the theme “Advancing Dual TVET in Rwanda through Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration,” aimed to foster dialogue among stakeholders and explore practical ways to strengthen partnerships that support workplace learning and the development of a skilled workforce aligned with labor market needs.
The Embassy of Rwanda in the Republic of Korea was pleased to receive Agaba Bisengo, Deputy Director General of the Rwanda TVET Board @RTB_Rwanda , and her team for a productive visit and an insightful briefing on RTB’s Strategic Plan, as well as its expanding partnerships with Korean institutions.
As Rwanda advances towards Vision 2050, the development of skilled human capital remains a central pillar of national transformation. The National Strategy for Transformation 2 underscores the importance of scaling up market relevant TVET and higher education to meet the evolving needs of a modern, knowledge based economy.
This engagement reflects Rwanda’s strong commitment to deepening international cooperation and accelerating skills development to drive sustainable growth and shared prosperity.
