On May 31, 2025 – Kyegegwa District, In a vibrant and colorful ceremony held at Humura Church of Uganda playground, Uganda Rural Development and Training Institute (URDT) in Kyegegwa District graduated 754 students, including 410 females and 344 males, in various vocational and entrepreneurial disciplines.
The Guest of Honour, Deputy Attorney General Hon. Jackson Kafuuzi Karugaba, who is also the Member of Parliament for Kyaka South Kyegegwa District, commended the graduates for their commitment and discipline. He assured them of government support, promising improved post-training facilitation in the next financial year Plans.
By the next financial year, every graduate will be well equipped with government tools and equipment relevant to their area of training,” Hon. Kafuuzi pledged. This is part of our broader agenda to empower youth and reduce unemployment through skills and enterprise
Hon Kafuuzi Jackson Karugaba MP Kyaka South
URDT, which operates in 20 districts and 4 refugee camps, provides training in practical fields such as pig and fish farming, poultry, welding, domestic electricity, hairdressing, brick laying, tree nursery operations, and bakery. Students undergo a 3-month training program where they are equipped with both vocational and soft skills, verified by the Directorate of Industrial Training (DIT) upon completion.
Joel Magoba, the District Speaker representing LCV Chairperson Hon. Byamukama Kisoke, acknowledged URDT’s critical role in transforming lives in the District.
This initiative aligns well with the NRM ideology, which emphasizes job creation over job seeking, Magoba stated. URDT is equipping our youth to become self-reliant and impactful in their communities.

Ategeka Deoson, Principal Assistant CAO and representative of the Chief Administrative Officer, highlighted the partnership between the institute and the district.
We’ve been working closely with URDT in mobilizing and monitoring their activities. It’s a model of collaboration we hope to scale across the district, he said.
Mr. Ategeka Deoson
Alice, the Managing Director of URDT Kyegegwa branch, emphasized the institute’s focus on entrepreneurship and employment. She praised the commitment of the trainers and students alike.
We’re not just skilling people—we’re transforming communities. Many of our graduates start businesses that employ others, she remarked.

One such example is Alinaitwe Gloria, who joined URDT in 2023 and completed a short course. With support from peers and the training she received, she launched a business that has now grown to over 10 million UGX in capital.
URDT gave me the skills and confidence to start my own business, said Gloria, I can now pay my children’s school fees independently. I was even recognized as one of the best trainees and awarded UGX 500,000.
Madam Alinaitwe Gloria
The graduation ceremony marked not only the end of a learning journey but the beginning of economic transformation for hundreds of Ugandan youths. As leaders continue to back such initiatives, the future of vocational training in Uganda looks bright.
