VISION JEUNESSE NOUVELLE PROGRAM

Education

Practical technical skills, vocational training, and entrepreneurship education for sustainable youth employability.

About the Program

Our Mission, Philosophy & Approach

Equipping young people with market-driven vocational trades, certified technical qualifications, and business acumen through the VJN Vocational Training Center (VTC).

VJN’s Education Program bridges the gap between youth potential and market demand through quality vocational and technical training. Centered around the accredited VJN Vocational Training Center (VTC) in Rubavu, we provide hands-on, practical education that prepares graduates for immediate employment or self-initiated enterprise.

Our curriculum emphasizes technical competence, entrepreneurship, workplace ethics, and digital literacy. Working hand-in-hand with private sector employers and national TVET authorities, we ensure our graduates receive state-recognized certifications and real-world internship placements.
