Programmes / Courses
Don Bosco Technical Institute, Tatale, offers practical, employment-focused training in three main trade areas — Electrical Engineering, Building Construction, and Catering and Hospitality. Every programme combines classroom instruction with intensive hands-on workshop training, and every student gets daily access to the Institute’s ICT laboratory.
In the Salesian tradition, training at Don Bosco Tech goes beyond technical skills: students are formed in discipline, professionalism, teamwork, and character — graduating ready for employment, apprenticeship, self-employment, or further studies.
