AICM Vocational Training College (VTC)
“To acquire skills for technological development in the service of God and the community”
Ugandan education is mainly a theory based curriculum, leading students to white-collared clerical jobs. There are high levels of unemployment among less academic Ugandan youths.
To address this problem, in 1990, AICM established a Vocational Training College (VTC).
Courses include:
- Plumbing
- Electrical installation
- Computer studies
- Tailoring & knitting
- Catering & hotel management
- Agriculture
- Accountancy
- Secretarial studies
- Carpentry & joinery
- Block (brick) laying & concrete
- Motor vehicle maintenance
At present there are more than 400 young men and women studying on a two year course. There are 35 staff.
VTC students have an excellent record of finding employment – most in the Kabale area, some further afield in Uganda, Rwanda and southern Sudan.
VTC objective: “To equip learners with practical and entrepreneurial skills to enable them become job creators rather than job seekers”
