As the demand for digital skills continues to grow in an increasingly technology-driven world, Victoria University, in partnership with SMARI Tech and Innovation Institute, is promoting a 60-day Technology Bootcamp aimed at equipping young people with practical digital knowledge and skills.
The programme, targeting Primary Seven (P7), Senior Four (S4) and Senior Six (S6) school leavers, is designed to introduce learners to emerging technologies and prepare them for opportunities in the rapidly evolving digital economy.
According to the programme announcement, the bootcamp will offer training in four key areas: Software Basics, Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cyber Security and Digital Forensics, as well as Media, Digital Marketing and Innovation.
The initiative comes at a time when digital literacy, technological innovation and computer-based skills are becoming increasingly important in education, entrepreneurship and the employment sector.
One of the programme’s key attractions is its flexible learning arrangement, which allows participants to study twice a week, both physically and online. This approach is intended to make digital education more accessible to young people with different learning schedules.
The advertised November–December intake offers prospective students an opportunity to acquire foundational technology skills through a 60-day learning experience. The promotional announcement indicates a registration fee of UGX 395,000.
Beyond classroom learning, the initiative presents an opportunity for school leavers to explore technology-related career pathways, develop their creativity and gain exposure to some of the digital skills shaping today’s job market.
