Prime Minister Robbinah Nabbanja has Graced the Graduation Ceremony at Bunyoro Zonal Presidential Industrial Hub, celebrating the achievement of 454 trainees. She appreciated the President for the great Initiative of skilling the Youth.

The Prime Minister of the Republic of Uganda, Rt. Hon. @R_Nabbanja presided over the graduation ceremony of 454 youths who have completed their vocational training in various skills at the Bunyoro Zonal Presidential Industrial Hub located in Masindi District.

I officiated the passing out of 450 youths trained in different practical courses at Bunyoro Zonal Industrial Hub, established in Masindi to skill the youth in Bunyoro Sub-region. Skilling Ugandans is a key component of our national development agenda to empower the youth, reduce unemployment and drive the economic growth. The @NRMOnline government is focusing on initiatives like establishing industrial training institutes, and innovation hubs to help us achieve our development agenda. That is why, government enhanced the education curriculum in schools to include practical and technical skills. These efforts aim to align educational outcomes with the labor market demands and the broader economic needs of the country. The modern economies demand a workforce that is versatile, innovative, and above all, skilled. It is our responsibility to prepare our youth by equipping them with the tools they need to succeed and to ensure they are not just job seekers but job creators. Skills such as carpentry, plumbing, agriculture, and information technology are not just pathways to employment; they are the backbone of our economy. These are the skills that build nations. In vocational training, we are nurturing an environment of innovation and entrepreneurship. Our youth should not only be job-ready but also equipped to create jobs. Initiatives like innovation hubs, startup grants like Youth livelihood program, Emyooga among others are being rolled out to support young entrepreneurs across the country. I therefore congratulate these youths on this milestone and also call upon the others to embrace this noble initiative. @IndustrialHubs @OPMUganda @JaneBarekye @Educ_SportsUg @GovUganda
