EGH also works with Mirembe Community College (MCC), a vocational institute, whose main campus is located in Busiika (towards Luwero-Zirobwe, central Uganda), a rural area. The institute  has trained over 2,030 youth in practical skills for employment and entrepreneurship.

Training programs include areas such as:

• Hairdressing and cosmetology

• Tailoring and fashion design
