SLOIC was established in Sierra Leone in 1976, with its first training center in Bo Town, in the south of the country. A year later, SLOIC began offering business development training programs in the capital, Freetown, and soon had its headquarters in the city. The need for vocational training services throughout the country was evident, so SLOIC began expanding its training sites throughout the 1980s. SLOIC's vocational services were greatly affected during the civil war of the 1990s, but remained operational and shifted to providing resettlement services and trauma counseling to those affected by the conflict. Currently, the organization is committed to supporting the government and communities by providing technical and vocational support to unskilled, unemployed and vulnerable youth, especially to reshape their minds from violence and drug addiction.
Mission: To contribute to the socio-economic development of Sierra Leone through vocational training, business training and credit assistance.
