INDUSTRIAL ATTACHMENT PROGRAM
FOLLOW-UP WORKSHOP REPORT.
Kigali, August 2013
I.
INTRODUCTION
An Industrial attachment program (IAP) is a training program whereby students/graduates are
placed in companies/industries to acquire practical hands on skills through on the job training
under the mentorship of a company supervisor with vast experience in that area.
IAPs are delivered by TVET training providers, such as VTCs, TSSs and IPRCs as part of their
training curriculum. These training providers, however, have conducted IAPs using different
approaches. For the purpose of uniformity and harmonization, WDA in collaboration with JICA,
developed a standardized IAP guideline, which was validated in a workshop which took place at
Hilltop hotel on 17th of January 2012, with the presence of all stakeholders including the private
sector. Subsequently, IAP dissemination workshops for TVET schools were conducted from 7th
to 11th May 2012 in Musanze and from 28th May to 1st June 2012 in Kigali.
This time, one year after the workshop, WDA in partnership with JICA-TCT project phase 2
conducted IAP follow-up survey from 27thMay to 6th June 2013 in order to collect information of
the current situation of IAP, understand the obstacles and good practices of IAP in
implementation, and examine the effectiveness of the IAP guideline as well as the IAP workshop
conducted last year.
To conclude the IAP follow-up survey, WDA and JICA-TCT project phase 2 have carried out a
two-day workshop from 1st to 2nd August 2013 to share the findings of the survey, and to
examine how WDA, together with TVET schools and industry partners, can better promote and
improve the IAP practices on the ground.

III. IAP FOLLOW UP WORKSHOP
The workshop was conducted to examine how WDA, together with TVET schools and industry
partners, can better promote and improve the IAP practices with the following specific
objectives: to share information on the current situation of IAP, to understand the obstacles and
good practices of IAP in practice, to examine the effectiveness of the IAP guideline as well as
the IAP workshops conducted last year, to suggest the best strategies to bring private companies
on board to support IAP and to understand different roles/responsibilities to be taken by different
stakeholders, i.e. TVET schools, private companies, and WDA, for better IAP implementation
At the end of the workshop expected results were: Sort out good practices and challenges of IAP,
share ideas with companies so as to minimize the gap on expectation for IAP, examine possible
solutions to overcome IAP challenges, learn how to conduct proper monitoring and assessment
and understand different roles to be taken by different stakeholders, namely, TVET schools,
private companies, and WDA

IV.2.4. OBSTACLES TO THE EFFECTIVENESS IAP IMPLEMENTATION










Insufficient budget
Limited number of companies
Lack of companies particularly for plumbing, welding and carpentry
Problem of undermining VTC graduates to favor those from universities
Charging IAP
Lack of allowance for trainees
Limited financial resources to facilitate ILO in supervision
School managers who do not recognize the importance of ILOs
Difficulties to find attachment for electrical department
Schools having IAP in the same time create a high demand in companies to provide
IAP and thus it reduce the chance to get attachment places
 IAP Guideline seems to be not well understood by users (difference of steps)
 Schools think that all logbooks are complicated to be used and be filled especially
time consuming for companies’ supervisors
IV.2.5. INSURANCE PROVISION
a) Insurance provision:
 All students had insurance for 14 schools
 Some of the students had insurance for 3 schools (1,30,40%)
b) Insurance problems:
c) Limited capacity for students to pay insurance themselves (Comments from 3 schools);
d) Particular or individual insurance obliged by some companies
IV.2.6. PROBLEMS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED DURING MONITORING
Failing to meet student immediate student’s supervisor when monitoring
Lack of discipline of trainees/interns
Idle student who were not tasked to do things or kept in one place or department
Some company supervisors do not support interns
Companies supervisors do not like to fill logbooks
Lack of enough transport facilities
Students who get IAP in far places difficult to monitor
Students who are tasked to do thing far different from their training skills
Tailoring companies do not allow interns to go real practices. They are afraid that
students might damage customers’ items
 Some of students get job during IAP and do not come back to school to complete their
studies
 Some students mostly girls get sex harassments during IAP
 Lack of practice in many of companies

School should secure places but let students secure places by themselves
Stop giving recommendation letters to students to stop schools request letters
duplication. The recommendation letter provided to student is exactly the
same letter that the school present when applying for IAP places. Cancelling
one that was provided to student will improve the situation
Let students prepare IAP application letters by themselves get approval from
school before taking it to companies and leave a copy of it to school
School managers should fully understand IAP and own its activities
Publish the list of attachment at least 2 weeks prior to start IAP
ILO should not be a trainer because of heavy workload. Teachers should help
when it comes to technical support
Enhance relations with industries
Award best companies to provide IAP placements
One person per school should be responsible to sign IAP requesting letters
They should be a flexibility for VTCs to arrange IAP for their suitable
calendar
To respect and follow IAP provided guideline
Responsible should be WDA, MINEDUC and GoR

IAP WS should be organized for TSS too
Consider the ticked/accommodation for those coming far from Kigali not the same way as
near/Kigali residents
Getting a high number of TVET graduate is appreciable but the quality should prevail on the
quantity, since the quality is still very low. Please think of creating technical schools of
excellence in Rwanda to serve as model in EAC
Congratulation! The workshop was well organized and participants were willing to
exchange ideas as well as experience

I appreciated WDA for organizing IAP WS
To strengthen the capacity of ILO, they should be regular, supervision, visits to them
Make sure to heed our given recommendation
We should make the WS simple and shorter so that members do not get tired
The WS was well organized
The training should happen many times to increase the IAP understanding and share
experience
There is no any other comments apart from congratulating this IAP WS planners
Invite more companies to participate in this kind of workshop
Consider to increase the per diem for participants who come far from Kigali. They come
earlier and leave later
As an ILO the workshop should take place periodically, it is helpful to fulfill my
responsibilities
I appreciated the way the workshop was prepared and conducted
I appreciated the workshop organization, group work and its rich methodology
Please implement all of suggestion given in this workshop
It’s better to organize more workshop like this
IAP pacification was very good
*Proposed per diem: 35000, 35000, 37000, 40000, 35000, 37000, 37000, 35000, 50000, and 35000. The average of
all is 37600Frw:
VIII. Recommendations (way forward)
The lessons learnt and suggestions from the workshop will lead to the following activities and
will be implemented just after the workshop:
Dissemination of IAP in all TVET schools
We shall Visit and prepare workshops within at least 100 schools.
Revise IAP Tools
Distribute revised IAP tools
To train ILOs, School managers and company supervisors
We shall make IAP impact evaluation
