Some achievements are measured by a diploma. Others by the opportunities that diploma makes possible.

This July, 158 young women and men in Rwanda completed their training at the Marcegaglia Vocational Training Center in Bugesera, the vocational education center established by Fondazione Marcegaglia to provide practical skills and new employment opportunities.

The graduation ceremony was one of the key moments of the monitoring mission carried out in Rwanda by the Foundation’s delegation. The event was also an opportunity to celebrate ten years of collaboration with the Bugesera District and to closely review projects supporting young people, women’s entrepreneurship, and children.

Since 2023, the Marcegaglia VTC has enabled 802 students to earn a certified diploma, with an employment rate of over 63%. Alongside vocational training, the Foundation supports self-employment programs, microcredit initiatives for women, and projects focused on children’s education and health.

Investing in people means creating real and lasting opportunities. This is the principle that guides Fondazione Marcegaglia’s work: because every opportunity created today can change the future of an individual, a family, and an entire community.
