Background and Inspiration
Bridge was founded to address the critical need for practical experience among TVET students in Rwanda. We saw a disconnect between the valuable skills learned in classrooms and the dynamic needs of the modern workplace.
Why Our Work Matters
We are responding to critical challenges faced by TVET students in their transition to the workforce.
Limited Standardised Internships
The lack of quality, standardised internship opportunities often leads to skill mismatches and low-quality placements, hindering a student's career start.
Lack of Mentorship & Resources
Many students lack access to professional mentorship and career guidance, resulting in poor career choices and misaligned goals after graduation.
