Electric Mobility: A Primer

The Rwandan electric mobility sector is rapidly growing, and many times skilled workforce is often rare. This has already reached a point where workshops and garages cannot service and maintain electric vehicles (EVs) and Hybrid EVs (HEVs) due to the need for more skilled professionals. Accordingly, more must be done to support the current businesses in the short term. By focusing on skill development in the electric mobility sector, Rwanda can become a leader in the African continent in the transition and adaption to sustainable mobility.

GIZ, UEMI and PEM Motion are fostering a pilot project to achieve precisely this: a more skilled workforce through inclusive and quality job creation in e-mobility in Rwanda. Throughout the next months, we will work with

1. Private companies that require skilled personnel and
2. Public & private training institutions that offer related curriculums & vocational courses

to derive an enabling, educative and exciting program that connects young, prosperous graduates with the country’s innovative e-mobility sector.

Target groups: Students in their final year of education and ready for the job market; current qualified jobseekers; people with necessary qualifications aiming to enter the e-mobility sector
