The Rapid Skills Development Centre (“RSDC” or “the Centre”) is a key institution in Botswana’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector, providing skills-based training to bridge the gap between education and industry demands. Specifically, the Centre delivers short-term and practical competency-based modularized training for unskilled and semi-skilled candidates irrespective of background, qualifications and experience. The RSDC is mandated to provide responsive vocational skills to address the current and future economical skills needs (4th Industrial Revolution).
The RSDC was created following the Presidential Directive (CAB 10(A)/2017 through CAB Memo 100 SMELSD 1/13/10 I) which sought to Rationalise the Construction Industry Trust Fund (CITF) and Madirelo Training and Testing Centre (MTTC). The objective of the rationalisation of CITF and MTTC together with the vocational training services provided by the Brigades was to streamline operations and eliminate duplication of services. It was therefore recommended that CITF be transformed into the Rapid Skills Development Centre (RSDC).
