To deliver YEEP programs to the target community, the main national Career Center will be established at Kigali at the headquarters of the Job in Rwanda Foundation and will supported by other four CDCs in four districts in each province of the country; East, West, South and North.Step by step, YEEP programs can be replicable in all districts of Rwanda where the CDC will be continuously decentralized to the Umurenge level.
YEEP will result in a sustainable project because YEEP Added Value Products after being developed and initiated, they can be themselves the source of funds which means they can be sold and bought by the employers and education communities.
By transforming the Labor Market Experience of Rwanda from Agriculture based Economy to the Knowledge, ICT, and Services oriented Economy, YEEP will promote WSIS values through its ICT based and enabled Infrastructure and programs that empower and build the capacity of Rwandan workforce.
