Skills for the Future

Young people are the next generation of entrepreneurs, workers, and changemakers for their families. At Ignite Change Vocational Training Institute, students develop the skills they need to fulfil their potential.

In Uganda, only 1 in 4 youth make it to sixth grade.

Poor quality education means that even many who finish sixth grade are unable to read or do basic mathematics. Children are lacking the basic skills they need - let alone meet the demands of the upcoming Fourth Industrial Revolution.

This skill shortage doesn’t just affect young people. Employers have a harder time recruiting qualified workers leaving many untapped opportunities in the job market.

Ignite Change Vocational Training Institute works to equip youth with tangible skills. We believe that technical skills alongside alongside soft skills, entrepreneurship, and general education are vital to help youth people thrive.

We are investing in skilling the future generations because it’s been proven that a quality education provides the best route of poverty.
