How UYEI achieved 87% completion rate across 18 training programs

Team Size

24 trainers & coordinators

Duration

12 months

Uganda Youth Empowerment Initiative (UYEI) runs vocational training programs for disadvantaged youth across multiple districts. With over 500 students enrolled across 18 different programs—from tailoring to carpentry to digital skills—tracking individual progress and coordinating with 20+ trainers was becoming unmanageable.

The Challenge

UYEI struggled with inconsistent reporting from different training centers. Student progress was tracked in different formats, making it difficult to identify which students needed additional support. Trainers often worked in isolation, missing opportunities to share resources or best practices. The organization had no clear view of program completion rates until months after sessions ended.

The Solution

UYEI deployed Taskmate to create a unified system for managing all training programs. They built standardized workflows for student enrollment, progress tracking, trainer coordination, and partner communication. Each training center could see what others were doing, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Implementation

  • Created program templates for each vocational track
  • Implemented student progress tracking with milestone checkpoints
  • Set up trainer collaboration spaces for resource sharing
  • Established automated reporting for donors and partners
  • Built custom dashboards showing completion rates in real-time

Completion Rate

"The visibility Taskmate provides into our training programs has been game-changing. We can now identify bottlenecks early and ensure every student gets the support they need. Our completion rates jumped from 62% to 87% in just one year because we could intervene quickly when students started falling behind."
