SWIPING TO WORK: INNOVATIVE PARTNERSHIP CREATES MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR MECHANICS IN UGANDA<\/h1>\n

\"\"
\nImagine you\u2019re an mechanic. You see opportunities for many underprivileged young people to become mechanics, but you also notice that there aren\u2019t enough affordable and accessible training institutions for this target group. What do you do? You start your own training! That\u2019s what Mathias Kironde did 12 years ago: \u2018I started Kimuna Technical Services with the goal of training young people to become professional auto mechanics who can provide services that meet the needs of customers. There are many poorly trained mechanics in Uganda. We aim to set ourselves apart. That\u2019s why we train our students not only in technical skills but also in work ethics, marketing, and customer service.\u2019<\/h4>\n<\/div>
