Work Readiness and English Acceleration Training

Harambee’s work readiness programs are designed to bridge the gap between education and employment by equipping youth with the soft skills, attitudes, and behaviors employers value. Recognizing that language can be a barrier in Rwanda’s growing sectors, such as Global Business Services (GBS), Harambee also offers English Acceleration Training to enhance language proficiency. This training improves participants’ ability to communicate effectively in professional settings, expanding their employability in industries requiring strong English skills.

English Acceleration

It’s always good to learn a new skill and you need to commit yourself by putting in the time and effort. English could be one of those skills you gain. The only way to learn a new skill is to set a goal.

Remember, learning a new language is hard and requires stepping outside of your comfort zone. Keep in mind that you will make some mistakes because that is how you learn. Surround yourself with people who will support you or share the same goal as you.  Click on the icon to the right for more tips.
