VOCATIONAL TRAINING

Education is a priority for all young people in Kabubbu. But not all young people can fully advance through academic qualifications. But they all have a skill of some form. We are working to develop their skills.

Uganda is developing at a fast pace but, as is often the case, skills development to meet such needs is lagging behind. Vocational training is a positive response and in Kabubbu there is a willingness to develop these skills.

Critical skills that have been identified include plumbing, electrical installation, carpentry, computer skills, animal husbandry and crop management. We are seeking to develop training courses and supply the resources that will provide certified qualifications in these and other aspects yet to be identified.

In many aspects of training we will be identifying existing training institutions and providing the means for Kabubbu young people to attend and develop their skill. This may mean working with the training institution to ensure the qualification achieved is fully certified and recognised.

Uganda needs highly skilled workers and for the less academically able in Kabubbu their new skills will bring an income and dignity through work.

No sum is too small in the provision of resources to assist the community to develop skills.
