Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Technical and Vocational Education (TVET) has proven to be the main force that is ushering Rwanda into the fourth industrial revolution. This was evident during a special programme that brought together TVET partners for a live broadcast at KT Radio, March 15. While in the studio of KT Radio Aimable Rwamasirabo in charge of curriculum at Rwanda TVET Board (RTB) did not look further.<\/p>\n

He described every other item in the studio as a product of TVET. From the wooden table that holds the sound system to the paintings in the studio and from live streaming to the sound proof on the four-wall studio, every other item is a product of someone who has technical and vocational skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cTVET is important in the world because without technical skills, the world would be boring,\u201d Rwamasirabo said.<\/p>\n

Rwamasirabo understands that \u201cwhen you open your eyes, whatever you see around you is a product of TVET. This tells you, TVET is life,\u201d Rwamasirabo said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone who has general knowledge without technical skills will be kicked out of the market. We are already into the fourth industrial revolution with automation, artificial intelligence at play. Technical and vocational education has never been relevant than today.\u201d<\/p>\n

In regard to the capacity and scholastic materials, Rwamasirabo agrees that equipment of technical skills is work in progress, but what they cannot afford , they teach it by means of virtual or simulation.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example in a class of 30 trainees, when there is a course of animal health, while every trainee should have their own, we may not afford to bring 30 cows for demonstration,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Moreover, to bridge the gap, RTB has introduced a dual system where one part of the curriculum is covered from class, and another one through industrial attachment.<\/p>\n

Partners of RTB may include the Education Development Centre (EDC). Aim\u00e9 Yedidiah Senzeyi from EDC mentioned two projects including Akazi Kanoze which train out of school youth.<\/p>\n

Another project is Bright \u2013 Building Resilience in TVET through e-learning which came as a response to COVID-19 challenge. With the venue of COVID-19, TVET system of physical class was affected and EDC adjusted with e-learning.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt works. One goes into a workshop and their demonstration is filmed and trainees make the material good use during their e-learning class,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe youth are very much interested. We also teach complementary modules or what they call the soft skills. The soft skills include the things trainees may need while doing their core work.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a matter of example, Senzeyi mentioned technics of job interview, saving literacy among others. Their intervention also brings in TVET the blended system while introducing digital materials which would help the students to coach themselves out of the physical class.<\/p>\n

Fabrice Munyabarenzi, a young entrepreneur is a product of TVET and CEO of Kigali Wood Connection Company. When it started, Munyabarenzi saw how graduates were jobless, he thus had an idea to go and start learning by working.<\/p>\n

When he finished, he was employed in a company where he realized that his boss was earning a lot depending on his work. He joined hands with his colleague and found Kigali Woods Connection.<\/p>\n

Munyabarenzi said, that unlike in other areas, in TVET, you may not need to have any endorsement, but \u201cyour product will sell you. We basically do not mind about the capital, we use the clients\u2019 advances.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regine Mukakarisa the Deputy CEO Isimbi Hair Salon said that, with the venue of TVET, the delivery is different. She said they are getting trainees who have a notion compared to the past where trainees were starting from the scratch.<\/p>\n

Some youth who called in said they are no longer getting work in TVET companies, but Mukakarisa responded that one may not expect to go to a company and just get a job, but they can rent space. With that, if clients appreciate, they will be successful.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most important is for everyone to learn what they love,\u201d Mukakarisa said.<\/p>\n
