Bbira Vocational Training Institute was founded in 1992, it is an affiliate of Church of Uganda under the Directorate of Household and Community Transformation (DHCT) formerly (Development and Rehabilitation Department -PDR), it is a specialized and inclusive institution training youths in Vocational and Technical skills to enable them set up and manage their own employment, or generate activities through acquired skills for sustainable livelihood and socio-economic development.
- To develop the human resource capacity of the youth with special emphasis on those who are marginalised and vulnerable due to being orphaned or in poverty because of their background.
- To empower trainees with requisite knowledge, vocational skills, self-employment skills, capacity building and attitudes which enable them to transform their lives and communities positively.

Over the years, BVTI has trained and graduated students to meet labour force needs for the various sectors and has in the process engaged a positive mark on society, locally, nationally and regionally. It is not surprising therefore, to find well placed and respectable alumni of BVTI at all levels of the social stature.
We emphasize Competence Based Training and our trainees in Mechanical, Electrical, Building, Plumbing, Tailoring, Hairdressing, Business management, Secretarial and office management, Tourism and Hotel are captured in the various job markets due to their competency, discipline, and professional work ethics.
