Saint Joseph Integrated Technical College (SJITC) currently operates two academic divisions: the Technical Secondary School (TSS) section providing vocational training at secondary level, and the Advanced Diploma programs. Building on this foundation, SJITC will soon expand its higher education offerings by launching Bachelor of Technology (B-Tech) programs in Information Technology and Construction Technology. This educational structure enables SJITC to deliver complete technical education pathways, spanning from secondary schooling through to advanced degree programs..

SJITC's partnership with VIVES University includes exchange of teaching staff between institutions, mutual internship programs for students, collaboration on academic and technical projects, and shared research initiatives. This international collaboration strengthens both institutions' capabilities to deliver high-quality technical education.
SJITC is preparing to launch two new Bachelor of Technology programs: Bachelor of Technology in Information Technology (B-Tech IT) and Bachelor of Technology in Construction Technology (B-Tech Construction Tech). These programs are designed to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in Rwanda's rapidly developing technology and construction sectors.
The college has completed construction of a new building featuring modern, technology-equipped classrooms, advanced computer laboratories, comprehensive library and reading rooms, multi-purpose conference hall, and specialized workshops for practical training. These facilities provide students with an optimal learning environment that combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience.
