Besides being a place for young people to gather and learn about their community and the world, one of the main aims of the center is to provide technology related training for the youth which they could potentially use in the workplace.
The trick is to find out what skills are really useful, beyond computer literacy and word processing skills. To this end, we plan to talk to companies in Uganda who employ young people with technical skills, study the IT outsourcing climate in Uganda and analyse the skill-sets that are in demand and also take a cue from other IT training centers in the various urban centers and the curriculum they offer.
We do feel confident in being nimble in designing the curriculum since the core members of the team have between them a couple of Computer Science degrees and also industry experience.
