SECTORAL APPROACHES TO SKILLS DEVELOPMENT (RWANDA)

The Sectoral Approaches to Skills Development course was tailor-made to meet the needs of the constituents of the Boosting Jobs and Enhancing Skills for Youth in Rwanda’s Digital Economy Project. The latter is a multi-year project funded by the Government of Luxembourg and brings together the ILO and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in support of the African Union (AU) under the umbrella of the Global initiative on Decent Jobs for Youth.
