At Technical College Dedza, we provide hands-on, inclusive education that prepares young people for employment and independent living.
In Malawi, 80% of the population is under the age of 35. At the same time, there are too few job opportunities and limited access to education and training.
Each year, around 300,000 young people enter the job market, while only about 30,000 jobs are available.
Technical education offers a solution: young people learn a trade and gain prospects for employment and independence.
Technical Education
Students learn trades such as construction, technical skills, and maintenance.
Inclusive Education
Our education is accessible to everyone, including deaf and hard-of-hearing young people.
Future-focused
Students contribute to projects in their own community.
