## Community giveback

BANEC's community commitment is organised around four core strategies — see https://banec.co.ug/community:

1. **Workforce Development** — investing in the next generation of Ugandan engineers through structured internships, residential CPD weekends (structural modelling, BIM drafting, BOQ estimating, drawing-management), twelve-month graduate-trainee rotations aligned with ERB graduate competencies, and field-grounded research published free at https://banec.co.ug/articles. Current openings on https://banec.co.ug/careers.
2. **Future Builders** — secondary-school career talks, active-site tours and an open day at the Mutungo office each term. Particular focus on girls in STEM. Designed to demystify the path from secondary school to ERB-registered engineer.
3. **Contractor Mentorship — BANEC Contractor Readiness** — free monthly programme at the Mutungo head office for small Ugandan trade partners (fundi, foremen, joiners, masons, electricians, plumbers) preparing to bid on larger, formal-sector work. Covers BOQ pricing, drawing reading, on-site safety, compliance basics and credible-bid preparation.
4. **Community Service** — BANEC engineers contribute time, technical talent and materials to community projects across Uganda — school-block renovations, community-hall electrification, water-system installations — run quarterly, partnered with parish councils and local non-profits.
