95% OF UBTEB graduates are in gainful employment
The Uganda Business Technical Examination Board carried out a tracer study of national diplomas in civil, mechanical, electrical and water engineering for graduates who completed their studies between 2016 and 2019. According to the Executive Director of the board, Onesmus Oyesigye, the study revealed that 95 percent of their graduates are in gainful employment, and others self-employed. However, he says, there is a need to engage the Ministry of Education and sports to increase funding to facilitate a curricula review every after 5 years to technological changes to ensure stakeholder engagement, as well as different perspectives from trainers.
