Abstract:
The Rwanda TVET policy aims to develop a competent labor force to bridge the skills gap in the
market. Despite governmental efforts, significant challenges persist in cultivating a technically
skilled workforce. This study investigated factors influencing quality training provision in TVET
schools of Rwamagana district, Rwanda. Using multistage sampling techniques, data were
collected from 157 trainees, 135 trainers, and 10 school managers. Descriptive analysis and
multiple linear regression model were used to analyze the data. Key findings indicated that
physical facilities significantly impact training quality, with trainees' mean score (M=3.0,
SD=1.09) and trainers' mean score (M=2.95, SD=1.02). Continuous professional development
(CPD) for trainers also showed a significant positive effect, with a mean score of (M=3.19,
SD=1.19). Quality assurance factors furthermore influence in TVET quality training provision,
with trainers' mean score (M=2.80, SD=0.612). The combined effect of physical facilities, CPD,
and quality assurance contributed 77.5% to training quality improvement in TVET schools.
Recommendations include regular updates and diversification of workshop materials to meet
industry standards, establishing structured and mandatory CPD schedules, and implementing
robust assessment frameworks by quality assurance entities to ensure continuous improvement in
TVET quality training provision.
