Technology & Employment
Our Employment and Technology Programs prepare rural youth for careers in STEM, design and multimedia fields. Youth learn to use cutting-edge technologies, gain entrepreneur skills and career-ready skills and grow a network of professional contacts.
Through our own Truth Design Academy, we address the pressing challenges of youth unemployment, poverty, and limited access to education in marginalized communities of Uganda by offering affordable and practical short accredited courses in high-demand fields like graphic design, video editing & production, Web design and Still Photography.
Inspired by the academic approach at many Universities, Truth Design Academy unlocks a learning experience based on a student’s “major” or focus area.
Students enjoy an immersive experience — learning from industry professionals, pursuing real-world projects, and leveraging internship and networking opportunities.
Truth Design Academy also offers a range of additional services to ensure students excel in their chosen fields and beyond.
The Problem!
In Uganda, 3 out of 5 young people are unemployed. This harsh reality, compounded by high poverty levels among the youth and limited access to higher education due to financial constraints, perpetuates cycles of poverty and hinders personal and economic advancement for countless young people especially girls and young women in rural communities.
