Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), Kigali Institute of Management
(KIM), the Integrated Polytechnic Regional Centre (IPRC) and the Tumba College of Technology (TCT)
This
agreement came into force on Monday 27th February 2012.
According
to Yves Muyange, the Director General of
EWSA, the major activities of this MOU will be to promote an integrated
and collaborative strategic approach to institutional and human capacity
building, common interest research and development activities.
He said that University students
studying technology, engineering, mechanics and accounting will benefit from
special internship slots and employment opportunities provided by EWSA.
EWSA will benefit by receiving some
of the best students as interns and potential job candidates in areas of
interest. We will also expand our knowledge and skills base by participating in
the school’s research and training activities,” Muyange said.
Professor Rwakabamba Silas, the
Rector of NURt said that through this MoU, EWSA is mandated to provide
internship for at least 18 graduates from each institution for a period not
exceeding one year,. The graduates must then be considered first for employment
in existing vacancies once they have performed satisfactorily during their
internship.,
“We discussed with officials from the
Ministry of Education and resolved to boost our cooperation with industry
leaders in terms of linking graduates to jobs in the country,”
Lwakabambasaid, adding that, “partnering with
EWSA is a brilliant idea because our science students are assured of jobs.”
He add that EWSA will also provide research
topics for students in a bid to improve their syllabuses and make them more
relevant to the needs of the country.
“This shows that employers are now more
interested in the kind of programs that we teach. Through the understanding,
our lecturers will know what is required in the modern market and agencies like
EWSA will help us to improve our curriculum,” Jeanne d’Arc Mujawamariya, the
Rector of KIST said.
“We need more agency participation, either through the assurance of job
positions, constructing school labs or even offering gifts to the best
performing graduates.”
Both parties have set up a joint team to closely supervise the resolutions and
ensure smooth implementation of the agreement.
