A primary weakness in most African countries is the skill level of their labor force. due to severe skill gaps, Ugandan youth are largely engaged in low-value services (e.g., petty trade, food vending, etc.), and only few are able to secure employment in high value-added economic activities like agro-processing, horticulture, or tourism. This all too common. The quickest way to introduce a more skilled workforce in Uganda is Vocational Education and IAAW would be just the solution for such a project.
The vocational Educational project breaks down to a 1-year programming composition. In that year, each student completes 3 semesters of 8 weeks each. These weeks are broken up seasonally much like semesters in America’s colleges. After successfully completing the requirements of each semester, there is the final 8 weeks of intern training on-the-job at an assigned industry.
