[AD]: Finding a first job in #Rwanda shouldn’t depend on already having work experience. Since 2018, @HarambeeRw Youth has been connecting young Rwandans with employers who need talent that is ready for work. That means communication, confidence, professionalism, and soft skills “that are not in textbooks.” Young graduates are moving from part-time work into full-time roles in the Global Business Services sector. Employers are not looking for perfection. They want people who are present and coachable. Employers such as CCI Rwanda , NCBA Bank Rwanda and TeKnowledge already hire through Harambee, from entry-level roles in GBS and banking to new AI skills training More than 4,000 young people have been supported so far, and the goal is 20,000+ in the next three to four years, including refugees, persons with disabilities and young women.

Yesterday, RDB Deputy CEO @JulianaMuganza joined the official launch of Teleperformance Rwanda in Kigali, marking the global business services company’s expansion into Rwanda and its growing Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) sector. With operations across nearly 100 countries, @wearetpgroup's Rwanda operation will serve international clients while creating opportunities for Rwandan professionals to build skills and careers in the global digital business services industry. “Today is more than opening an office. It is about opening opportunities for young Rwandans to gain international experience, develop new skills and build careers in a global company while serving clients around the world from right here at home in Rwanda. Rwanda has made a deliberate choice to position itself as a place where global companies can build, operate and grow.” — RDB Deputy CEO @JulianaMuganza. The launch also brought together government and industry representatives, including @RwandaICT Minister of State @yves_Iradukunda, @wearetpgroup leadership, @MastercardFdn, @HarambeeAfrica and @RwandaGBSGrowth. #InvestInRwanda
