| Description du stage : |
While Rwanda's economic situation has been improving since 1994, most
Rwandans are worse off today than in the late 1980s, particularly in rural
areas. In 2002, there was about 41 percent of the population who did not have
access to potable water, and in 2000 the infant mortality rate was 107 per
1,000. As a consequence of the genocide, many people are particularly
vulnerable. One-third of households are headed by women. One million children
or 12 percent of the total population are orphans, cared for by impoverished
family or community networks. Over 90 percent of Rwandans rely on subsistence agriculture, with very limited participation in the exchange economy. Productivity is low, and production covers only 80 percent of Rwanda's food needs. Economic growth and social changes are severely constrained by the shortage of skilled people, and Rwanda is making significant investments to make up for the losses. But about 1 million youths are unskilled, a problem with important economic and socio-political dimensions. In response to this crisis, SOS Rwanda has established a number of educational facilities including 2 Vocational Training Centers. The training centers provide trained qualified individuals to the local economy. The intern would be associated with the newly constructed Training Center built in 2004 Kigali. It currently trains 64 disadvantaged girls and boys aged 14-19 in accounting, carpentry and electricity. In the near future, the Training Center will be expanded to hold a total of 350 students. A computer technician degree will also be added to the program. Length of each individual program is 3 years. Diplomas are A2 equivalent (technicien A2)and issued by the Ministry of Education. In Canada The mandate in Canada will involve becoming familiar with the work and the underlying philosophical and pedagogical tenets of SOS Children's Villages in general and its work, in Central Africa & Rwanda in particular. Should time permit, s/he will help the Deputy Director develop public education materials. Overseas The mandate in Rwanda As vocational trainer "Accounting" will be to support the technical instructors in training adolescents for employment in Rwanda's local economy. The intern will instruct students in accounting in class environments that simulate the world of work as much as possible. The instructor will be expected to perform the following duties: ** Teach students (14 - 18) using a systematic plan of lectures, demonstrations, discussion groups, laboratory work, seminars, case studies, field assignments and independent or group projects ** Develop curriculum and prepare teaching materials and outlines for courses.
