Work-Based Learning for Vulnerable Youth – Rwanda
Work-based learning programmes for vulnerable young people aged 15–18
The programmes aimed to provide vulnerable youth aged 15 to 18, including ethnic minorities, young women, and learners with disabilities, with work-based learning opportunities that combine practical workplace training and technical skills with transversal and life skills aligned to local labour market needs. Activities included organising company-based training, structuring competency-based learning pathways, and implementing a competency development strategy to support both professional insertion and personal development of participating youth.
Learning Avenue's Role
Learning Avenue led the mid-term evaluation of the work-based learning programmes, assessing their impact on young people and communities, the effectiveness of partnerships between training centres and companies, and the contribution of the schemes to local development and youth employability.
