"We shall be looking forward to the trainees that graduate from the Industrial Skills Trainingenter into the job m arket of Uganda," he added.

Elioda Tumwesigye, minister of science, technology and innovation said industrial skilling will help fast-track the industrialization process in the country, which will in the end increase household income through creating employment.

Tumwesigye noted that with the state of the art machinery installed at the facility, Uganda stands out to benefit from the opportunities the Fourth Industrial Revolution has to offer. He said the institution now has machines that use artificial intelligence.

Charles Kwesiga, head of Uganda Industrial Research Institute, a state agency under which the facility will be affiliated is optimistic that the products that will be made will meet international standards.

"It is a very important facility. It is the initial step of creating modern machining, manufacturing. That way we can get in the market with competitive high quality products," Kwesiga said.

Uganda hopes to use the center as a production unit of automotive spare parts in a bid to bring down the import bill, according to Tumwesigye. Government figures show that the country spends 23 million dollars annually on importing motor vehicles spare parts and 18 million dollars on spares for motorcycles.

The country's nascent motor vehicle manufacturing industry is also eyeing the industrial center as a key partner in producing vehicles parts.
