Why become a sponsor?
Our partner
Training CenterBuyopa-BVC
LifeSkills works closely together with the Bukedea Vocational Skills Training Centre. The training centre is run by the Bukedea Youth Professionals Association (BUYOPA), a local community organization founded in 2014. BUYOPA equips young people in the Bukedea district with practical skills to help them find a decent job or start their own business.
Our project partnerSolomon Obwokor
Solomon is a hard-working visionary who comes from a poor background. He has built a life for himself through diligence and optimism. His goal is to offer other young people who come from similar precarious backgrounds a perspective in life. His warmth, openness and humour allows him to reach and convince many, young and old.
Vocational Training
Trainees can choose from different courses. The training is divided into five terms and takes 15 months to complete. Graduates receive official certification (basic qualification - Level 1) after successful completion. The centre also offers advanced courses (Level 2) that last another 15 months.
