<h3>Our Story</h3>
<p>Life Prep College was founded in 2022 by Racheal Wannyana, a Ugandan entrepreneur and educator. Racheal saw that traditional education was not preparing young people for the modern workforce, and that many were leaving school without practical skills or a clear career pathway. She started Life Prep to address this gap, combining her experience in education and business to create a unique, competency-based training model.</p>

<h2>Welcome to Life Prep College</h2>
<p class="desic">I'm Racheal Wannyana, founder of Life Prep College (operating as Mt. Horeb Foundation Ltd). We started Life Prep because education should lead to employment, entrepreneurship and dignity—not just certificates. Our mission is simple: equip young people with practical, industry‑aligned skills through competency‑based, hands‑on training that produces real products, services and measurable outcomes.</p>
<br>
<p>At Life Prep you'll learn by doing. From woodwork, welding and plumbing to multimedia, culinary arts, fashion, farm production and AI & prompt engineering, our courses are built around real projects, employer standards and assessment‑based certification. We combine experienced instructors, modern workshops and industry partnerships so graduates leave ready to work, hire or start a small business.</p>
<br>
<p>We are committed to safety and ethical use of technology. Whether you're a student seeking a clear career pathway or a partner wanting to support practical education, we invite you to join our community. Visit our campus, explore our programs, or get in touch to discuss partnerships and apprenticeships.</p>

<h4 align="center">Frequently Asked Questions</h4>
<hr>
<div class="container">
<div class="row mission">
<div class="col-md-6 mv-img">
<h4>1. What is Vocational Training?</h4>
Vocational education, also called career education and training (CET) and vocational education and training (VET), prepares students for successful careers by equipping them with practical knowledge and skills. This is a non-academic type of education and completely related to a specific occupation, trade, or vocation, hence the name vocational education. In several instances, it is also called technical education, as the learner gets direct proficiency in a specific set of technologies.
<h4>2. Why is vocational education important in Uganda? </h4>
In Uganda, a massive number of young people enter the labour sector. But, the majority of them lack the expertise necessary for a job. It is due to this skill gap that Uganda faces huge cases of unemployment. It is vocational education that can bridge this gap by offering students skills and information about the different job positions in the market. Also, it can reshape the job landscape by creating a more trained and productive workforce, which will lead to development and economic growth.
<h4>3. In this ever-evolving world with a lot of automation in work places, is vocational education still viable?</h4>
The job landscape has undergone a major transformation in recent years, spurred by rapid advancements in technology, the emergence of new industries, and automation. This transformation has a far-reaching impact, changing the abilities and skills required for today’s workforce. The once-traditional approach to the job, based on simply academic credentials, has now given a more dynamic and skill-centred approach. As a result, vocational education has become increasingly important in educating individuals for this changing professional world.
<h4>4. What are the key benefits of Vocational education?</h4>
<strong>Exposure to more jobs</strong><br/>
Vocational training prepares students to acquire specific skills necessary for certain occupations or vocations. Furthermore, students who have gained expert knowledge in the relevant field can also get high-paying job opportunities.
<br/>
<strong>Gain hands-on learning</strong>
