Makerere fosters job creation skills

Although Uganda is one of the most entrepreneurial countries in Africa, the country still grapples with high levels of unemployment. To address this issue, Makerere University Business School has embarked on a program to train students to become job creators, aiming to challenge the narrative of a lack of jobs, especially among youths and graduates. According to Morreen Mukoda, the Coordinator of the Mentorship and Coaching Program in the Faculty of Entrepreneurship at Makerere University, over 300 students have been trained in self-sustainability and business skills, with a call for students to remain positive in their endeavors.
