@dit_uganda Shortage of vocational skills retards the capacity to solve problems, slows down the process of national transformation and prolongs the journey to development.

@dit_uganda Vocational skills are vital for the individual, enterprises and the economy since they lead to self-reliance, increased productivity and higher incomes for the nation.

@dit_uganda With high rates of youth unemployment faced by the country, learners in schools and those out of school should take advantage of the opportunity to register with enterprises and vocational institutions to acquire demand-driven skills.
