This was because in the business world, exchange of ideas pertaining the carrier development of those who engage in Vocational Training brings the element of personal development and enterprising. The GET-YES project is to be implemented by Drucilla Balaba Handicraft –Diocese of Kigezi LTD and the institution is located in Southwestern Uganda, which Boarders with Rwanda in the South.

The field research in Uganda was conducted by a research team, who used the questionnaire from the project (See Annex). Field visits were conducted amongst the youth that Drucilla Balaba Handicraft Diocese of Kigezi LTD had trained and those who were still undergoing the training. The researchers administered the questionnaires by conducting face to face interviews with the respondents.

The total number of the questionnaires administered and completed was 50, and most of the respondents were mainly female youth with only 3 males. The major reason for targeting the female youth was centered on the fact that Drucilla Balaba Handicraft -Diocese of Kigezi LTD as an organization targets mainly the female Adolescent youth in undertaking the vocational training skills and business development.

Most of the responses were from the female youth and a few male from the age bracket 1535 years. The idea of family business inheritance and succession is a process and aspect of upgrading and retaining the skills attained was very much taken care of.

Choosing on the female gender on the other hand was not to segregate the male counter parts but instead was as well very important because the female youths are more vulnerable. The female youth, when they are not engaged in business ventures and given the suitable vocational and business skills, quite often they are found in several of the traps by a section of male counterparts who may be planning to lure them in premarital sex in exchange of material gains like money . This would at the end destroy their future carrier by infecting them with such diseases as Acquired Immune deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) and also unwanted pregnancies that culminate into early marriages with its related problems.

The research was thus conducted among the females who were intentionally and randomly selected among the current students of Institutions of learning and those who finished and left but were once students of different Institutions of business and Vocational skills learning.
