Concept Paper 2015

Developed by Emmanuel  Zirabamuzaale – Director

Introduction.

Like elsewhere in the world, education in Uganda is considered to be key to the development of society. As a result, since the start of formal education during the colonial period, Uganda has had several players in the education sector right from Nursery to University level. Consequently, irrespective of the level one stops at, many Ugandans now have an opportunity to go school other factors constant.

 Despite the many players in the education sector, 95% of all Uganda’s education institutions for a very long time have concentrated on theoretical education which basically breeds job seekers. Therefore the unemployment problem facing Uganda today is due to the education which our educational institutions offer to our people.

With our education style in Uganda, ALL students who have spent thirteen (13) years in school (from primary one to senior six) are NOT skilled in anything! This category including those who dropped out of school, constitute the biggest number of Uganda’s unemployed youth. Some other students also go further to acquire University education which takes them a minimum of three (3) years (this brings the total number of years to 16 in school)  but again like their counterparts who stopped at senior four and six they leave University without any practical skill that can kick start them in real life!

In light of the above, Center for Community Transformation would like to Construct and establish Trust Family Vocational Training Center to equip senior four, six students and willing adults with practical skills and knowledge so that they can individually create jobs for themselves and others and stop looking forward to government for jobs. We believe this will go a long way in strategically reducing the problem of un employment in the community.

Targeted community

Trust Family Vocational Training Center  is targeting students and willing adults from  Mubende, Mityana nd Wakiso Districts .This is so because as Center for Community Transformation Uganda this is our initial focus.   Best of the best students will be retained to train others; whereas those who complete  will devise means to ensure they start off immediately using the skills they have acquired. 

Preferred Courses to start with

1.       Motor Vehicle repair and maintenance

2.       Plumbing works

3.       Tailoring and fashion designing

4.       Hair dressing andWeaving

5.        Computer training 

6.       Electrical wiring and Installation.

7.       Oriented Agricultural Practices skills course:

b)      Diary animal  management

c)  Plants Management

8. Shoe Making  ( shoe making and repair)
   - Catering services ( teaching boys and girls , women and men skills to be able to cook food for money)

 Through this Vocational education we want to ensure that the Market Oriented Agricultural Practices skills course supported by the other courses facilitate the start of cottage factories or industries in Mubende. And we confident this is very possible.
