The Skills Development programs run by MC-Rwanda and MC-Zambia are focused on increasing the digital literacy skills and tailoring opportunities of students as an antidote to the economic insecurity that characterizes their respective communities: Bugesera in Rwanda and Chanyanya in Zambia. To this end, their employability is enhanced through vocational training courses.

Through the Skills Development (TVET) programs in information and communication technologies (ICT) and Tailoring, both MC-Rwanda and MC-Zambia increase the market readiness of youth enrolled in the programs. Research shows that TVET access is still a challenge faced by many young people in rural areas including in the Bugesera and Chanyanya regions. This is a roadblock to the development of many young people in rural areas who cannot afford to pursue higher education opportunities. MC-Rwanda and MC-Zambia’s investment in the arena of TVET aims in part at responding to the pressing needs of their communities.
