INTRODUCTION

In this highly-competitive and fast-changing business landscape, the challenge is to stand out and stay ahead. That is why our government, companies and professionals aspire for something more substantial: total professional development and the full realization of business and organizational objectives. More than a provider, they need a partner, a name they can trust. This is why VCS RESEARCH LIMITED was established.

President Paul Kagame, in his article featured at The Guardian entitled "Africa is finally uniting : now we need good politics" said, " In Africa, our biggest threats are also opportunities. By 2035, 450 million Africans will have joined the working age population, more than the rest of the world combined in that time. They will power our economies forward, as long as there are jobs they have the knowledge to perform.

"But our schools and universities have not kept pace with technology. Over half of all jobseekers have few or no skills, while 41% have qualifications but no skills for the jobs available. The gap is wider still in science, technology, engineering and mathematics."

Entrepreneurial skills, leadership development, and skills building form the heart and soul of our programs.

Our objective is to provide mentorship and other human resources solutions to our youth and women to unleash their full potentials as skilled professionals.

VCS RESEARCH LIMITED believes, together, we can transform the lives of the people we serve. Thus, we prioritize our partnership and collaboration with all the stakeholders in helping build the human capital of Africa.
