Establishing A Youth Skills Training and Talent Development Centre in Galiraaya Kayunga Uganda (East Africa)

Will construct, furnish & kickstart a center for youths' talents development, along with training in short course market demand driven skills for job creation

As BUVAD planned for its next five years 2023 to 2027, a stake holder survey conducted, which unearthed a need to empower the youths whom are the biggest employable population to overcome redundancy and disorderliness.

This had lead to high crime rates, general high poverty levels and as well poor local government revenue collections.

It was eminent that youths in this area had marketable talents that were being soiled due to ignorance and lack of promotion to market.
Other talents had not been discovered because of the gaps in the national educational curriculum in place and lack of such a center like the one BUVAD is intending to establish.

Talents in; Music, Dance , Drama, Fine Art, Muscle Arts, Sports, Football, Indoor games, comedy shows and many more shall be rejuvenated at this center.
Uganda has also got talent that can be marketed for income.

The long duration of skills training that made the skills training courses expensive for sponsors of youths to centers rendered the youths un employed too!

BUVAD intends to train youths in well broken down short courses in market demand driven skills which will make the course affordable, and hence a youth can learn in a short period of between 2 weeks to a month.

Thereafter, a youth can start to earn money from the so far acquired skill, then will later upgrade still by level until he/she has a buffet of market demand driven skills.

These skills shall be market demand driven skills some how different from the traditional vocational skills like; Soap making, shoe repairing, matchbox making , hand crafts making, sewing and knitting, portable solar charger making, juice making, wooden stool chair making, electronics repair, bricks making, tiles making, building, metal welding, mini waste recycling and upcycling, mini businesses establishment and more will be developed.

Trainers of skills at the centre will be recruited on grounds that they will have shared their training module of between 2 weeks to 1 months with the center's careers department. Once approved and accepted, the trainer will be recruited to the center to train that given skill .
