Vocational Training
TAKE ACTION
TAKE ACTION supports young Ugandans from poor backgrounds to attend vocational training. We help them decide on their own future. Trainees can choose from different certified courses that take 15 months to complete.
Why become a sponsor?
Promote skills development
Young people learn practical skills such as carpentry, tailoring and computer use.
Create jobs and entrepreneurship
Young people acquire the skills they need to find a decent job, open their own business or continue with their education.
Support young people
Many young people in rural Uganda are unemployed. A good education is a pathway to a better future, especially for young women.

Training CenterBuyopa-BVC
TAKE ACTION works closely together with the Bukedea Vocational Skills Training Centre.

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.
