Rapid Response Training (RRT) is one of the NSDEPS/NEP interventions which facilitate partnership between Private Sector and the Government of Rwanda to contribute to work-specific training linked to industries and enterprises.

This is done in order to address the rare skills challenges faced by investors where the Government avails the fund for the required training with emerging investment opportunities at the same time being flexible to redirect specialized training to the need of investors to acquire skilled personnel in specific sectors. It is against the above background that Rwanda Polytechnic is pleased to announce the call for proposals for 2020-2021 Fiscal Year, NSDEPS/NEP fund competition for Rapid Response Training (RRT).
