In nations recovering from conflict, like Somalia and Burundi, young people face enormous challenges—but also hold the key to rebuilding peace and prosperity. One of the most powerful tools in this transformation? Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). Programs like those offered at Delight Technical College in Nairobi are helping to equip post-conflict youth with practical, market-ready skills that lead to stability, employment, and long-term growth.

🛠️ Why TVET Matters in Post-Conflict Settings

Youth in Somalia and Burundi often face:

  • Limited access to quality education
  • High unemployment rates
  • Economic instability
  • Trauma and social disconnection

TVET provides quick, accessible, and relevant training in fields such as:

  • Tailoring & Fashion Design
  • Digital Media & Communication
  • Information Technology
  • Hospitality & Catering
  • Entrepreneurship & Small Business Skills

These programs are less costly and more flexible than traditional university routes—and they focus on earning while learning.

💡 Real Solutions, Real Impact

For Somali Youth:

  • Tailoring and ICT skills are helping young people rebuild livelihoods in Mogadishu, Garowe, and Hargeisa.
  • Female students, especially in displacement camps, benefit from mobile and community-based TVET linked to real income-generating projects.

For Burundian Youth:

  • Programs in agro-processing, carpentry, and electrical installation are restoring dignity and financial independence to ex-combatants and returnees.
  • Youth-led microenterprises are emerging as sources of peace and stability in provinces like Gitega and Bujumbura.

🌍 Regional Colleges Like Delight Are Bridging the Gap

Delight Technical College in Nairobi welcomes students from across East Africa, including post-conflict zones, and provides:

  • Hands-on training in secure, urban settings
  • Language support (English, Kiswahili, and some French)
  • Scholarships and flexible fee structures for vulnerable learners
  • A diverse, inclusive campus that fosters healing and collaboration

🤝 Partnerships for Peacebuilding

Delight works in alignment with regional and international goals for youth empowerment, including:

  • The African Union’s Agenda 2063
  • UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4 & SDG 8)
  • The East African Community’s education harmonization efforts

🔑 Empowering Youth = Preventing Conflict

When youth are given skills, purpose, and opportunity, they become:

  • Entrepreneurs, not dependents
  • Leaders, not recruits
  • Peacebuilders, not bystanders

💬 Voices of Resilience

“I left Somalia without a clear path. At Delight, I found training in design—and now I’m building my brand back home.”
– Ayan, 21, Somalia

“After the war, school was hard to access. TVET gave me hope, and now I train others in my community.”
– Evariste, 24, Burundi

📣 Call to Action

It’s time to invest in real skills for real recovery. Whether through local initiatives or regional institutions like Delight, TVET is the bridge from survival to success for post-conflict youth in Somalia, Burundi, and beyond.
