CHANCEN International has teamed up with Rwanda’s Higher Education Council (HEC) to equip students with skills needed for the job market and reduce youth unemployment, officials said Monday.
The partnership aims to strengthen universities, improve teaching quality, and connect graduates with employment opportunities. Both parties will share expertise and develop practical approaches to make higher education more aligned with labor market demands.
Signed on Sept. 29, 2025, the collaboration emphasizes staff training, technical support, and modern student assessment methods to ensure learners graduate with relevant skills.
CHANCEN International, based in Germany with operations in Rwanda, Kenya, Ghana, and South Africa, also provides tuition support under an Income Share Agreement (ISA), allowing students to repay tuition only after finding employment.
Batya Blankers, CEO of CHANCEN International, said, “Our goal is to empower youth through education that directly prepares them for employment. Strengthening universities and linking students to opportunities is an investment in Rwanda’s sustainable development.”
Edward Kadozi, HEC CEO, added, “This partnership ensures students graduate with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in Rwanda’s workforce.”
Since launching in Rwanda, CHANCEN International has supported over 4,500 students, with around 2,000 already repaying tuition under the ISA program.
