TVET Partnerships
Bridging Uganda's technical and vocational training institutions with employers and digital economy actors to ensure graduates are job-ready for the 21st-century labour market.
The Challenge We Address
Uganda's TVET sector trains hundreds of thousands of young people each year — yet curricula often lag 5–10 years behind the skills that employers actually demand. Digital skills, data literacy, and technology-integrated trade skills are increasingly required, but rarely taught.
UMSDN works as a convener and technical partner — bringing together TVET institutions, the Ministry of Education, employers, and industry associations to align what is taught with what is needed.
Our Approach
We conduct annual labour market assessments to identify the digital and technical skills most in demand across key sectors including construction, hospitality, ICT, and agriculture.
Working directly with TVET curriculum developers and industry representatives to integrate digital components into existing vocational qualifications.
We upskill TVET facilitators in digital pedagogy, practical technology tools, and assessment methods — so they can confidently teach the updated curricula.
We broker structured industry placement and apprenticeship programmes connecting TVET graduates with employers in the digital economy.
We track graduate employment outcomes, employer satisfaction, and curriculum relevance — sharing findings publicly to drive continuous improvement.
