At SFBCC we are committed to equipping our students with skills and knowledge for professional growth that prepares them to work creatively and dynamically. This we achieve through workshops, job fairs, seminars and lectures. We also assist our students in developing CV’s that meet employers’ requirements.

Placement and Job Search

As graduates leave learning institutions with good credentials, there is this stigma within Students that there are no jobs ! Our mission at the Centre is to engender professional growth and job acquisition. Therefore after graduating from SFB, we at the Centre will go further on and serve you by marketing you to prospective employers and give recommendations for vocational, part time or full time employment.

Attachments

To meet the changing trends in labour markets and management where prior acquisition of practical skills and attitudes is necessary, the SFBCC set the objective of building and strengthening professional capacity of our students by securing attachment and practical programmes to organisations and firms. For committed and hardworking students attachment opportunities usually lead to employment in the same organisations.

Internal and External links

Our linkages cut across all the academic departments as we provide services in career development for our prospective, continuing students and alumni. We will establish and nurture links with many organizations in Rwanda.
