The Chief Skills Office was established under the Rwanda Development Board in September 2018 to align skills development with labour market demands. Recently it was transferred to the Ministry of Public Service and Labour, since 2024.
It is mandated to provide effective oversight and coordination in the skills development and employment promotion ecosystem. Our vision is skilling Rwanda for economic transformation.

Its main goals are:

• Promote and coordinate sector skills, capacity development strategies and actions to respond to private sector needs.
• Conduct Labour Market Analysis to identify current and future skills needs in priority sectors and for key investment projects.
• Facilitate labour market integration through innovative partnerships and interventions.
