BRALIRWA constructs technical school for Nyamyumba Sector

The proposed plan of the BRARIRWA supported Technical school

Beverage brewer BRARLRWA is constructing a Technical school for Nyamyumba sector in Rubavu district, Western Province.

As part of its corporate social responsibility, BRARIRWA is investing over Rwf700 million. When completed, the school will offer training in Plumbing, Electrical and Electronics, mechanics, and sciences related to brewing and soft beverages.

According to Technical Director of BRALIRWA Pascal Karangwa, the school will start with a capacity of 128 students and he says that the project is a good initiative aiming at promoting TVET in the country.

Developments like these have come in place following the government’s increase in the efforts to develop the technical education as one way of bridging the present skills gap and also fighting unemployment.

Technical education is believed to be an answer to the rampant unemployment especially amongst the youth because it promotes entrepreneurship.

Following the BRWARIRWA example, other companies are also encouraged to have a nearby training school where students can benefit from their experience through industrial attachment.

Karangwa says that this new project will not only help the outside local residents but also BRALIRWA will benefit in terms of improving capacity of their workforce to further run the industry.

John Bonds Bideri the Chairman of the WDA Board of Directors commended this initiative from BRALIRWA and called for more initiatives not only from this company but even others to look into other sectors that match with the country’s vision 2020.
