Why we chose vocational courses.

St. Francis is one of the leading vocational institutes in western region. Our main aim is skill
acquisition through use of tools and equipments that will boost your competence and can be
employable in the world

Gone are the days when we used to embrace civil servants and worshiped every family that
managed to make their children attain degree in law, engineering, medicine , etc. Now the world
changed it the other way round. Only those with high level of skills are embraced and worshiped
with lots of sums of money. Not that civil workers are stupid, but many people and families have
been pushing there children to study what they don’t want and what they cant manage to pursue ,
and in the end the world has got a lot of lawyers, teachers, engineers , doctors in that become one
of the above categories you will definitely not make news.

Mission
St Francis institute aims at making the young generation as the leading generation. We want to
prove you that you are still the best even when you don’t have a degree because after all what
makes you different from others, you create jobs rather than seeking for the jobs.
