Today, Rwanda TVET Board in collaboration with @BluLever launched the first-ever Rwanda Plumbing Trade Test, marking an important milestone in the national rollout of a standardised plumbing trade test and qualification framework in Rwanda. This initiative will contribute to enhancing the quality, safety, and professionalism of the plumbing trade across the country by establishing a standardised approach to assessing and recognising plumbing skills and competencies. Delivering his remarks, RTB Director General Paul Umukunzi expressed his appreciation to BluLever Education for its commitment, expertise, and partnership in supporting Rwanda in initiating this Trade Test approach. He emphasised the importance of this milestone in improving the quality-of-service delivery within the labour market, both in Rwanda and beyond. As part of the launch of this foundational framework, the first cohort of 11 plumbers who successfully completed and passed the trade test were recognised and celebrated for their dedication, hard work, and achievement. Their success marks an important step towards strengthening skills recognition and professional standards within Rwanda’s plumbing sector. #NanjyeNdiTVET
