INES as a University of Applied

Sciences

In 2008, a research to analyze the position of HLIs in relation to the labor market needs.

Results: a big discrepancy between academic products and the labor market needs.

Biggest issue not really with offered programs but the way they way offered

After consulting with stakeholders and experts from the Netherlands and Germany, the concept of University of Applied Sciences was adopted in 2010 as the solution.

SHIFTING FROM PAPER TO

PRODUCT

Perspectives for 2018-2019

Unemployment is a challenge to the world;

INES Research: Unemployment is a major source of

instability in the world.

Unemployed youth lose hope and are easily driven to

obscure groups including armed groups, terrorists, drugs

trafficking and consumption, prostitution etc.

The challenge is not so much about lack of jobs but mostly

about misalignment between job requirements and

candidates’ skills.

Perspectives for 2018-2019

INES-Ruhengeri to address the challenge of unemployment through enhancement of relevant education:

Quality of programs,

Quality of teaching and learning methodology;

Quality of staff;

Quality of management.

Perspectives for 2018-2019

market’s expectations:

Knowledge;

Skills (soft and hard)

Attitude;

Entrepreneurial students and graduates:
