DO you have a passion for modeling? Do you have what it takes to make it in the cat-walk world? If your answer is yes, then you could be the person Premier Model Agency-(PMA), a local modeling company is looking for. The company is searching for 50 talented models to train and work with.Jean Claude Ndayishimiye, the Chief Executive Officer of the company, told this paper that the search is mainly targeting secondary and university students with a passion for modeling."I want to give a chance to the young people especially those in higher institutions of learning to actively engage in promoting the modeling industry in this county; I realised that not many of them have come out to exploit the opportunity in this business,” he said.Registration started last week and ended yesterday. It targeted both males and females.  Ndayishimiye explained that after registration, those who will qualify will then undergo a three-months training to further build their skills; before they are considered to work with the agency."Based on our target group of people, we didn’t request for any registration fee like it was in the past, we realised that sticking to that will lock many out yet we actually want those who cannot afford but have the talent to participate as well,” he said.The search is in line with the annual edition of Rwanda’s Premier Model, a competition that attracts models to compete for and identify Rwanda’s Premier Model. According to the organisers the competition will be held next year on a yet to be disclosed date.
