Uganda has no shortage of talented young people. The challenge is ensuring that talent successfully transitions into meaningful employment.

At the @VUCoopEd, we believe the answer lies in stronger partnerships between universities and industries.

[Dr. Shamim K.Matovu @shamimkmatovu]

I had the privilege of joining @ubctvuganda to discuss youth unemployment and the future of work in Uganda.

The answer isn't more graduates it's stronger university-industry partnerships.

What's one step you're taking to bridge the gap between education and employment?

[VU Co-operative Education Office @VUCoopEd]

What good are great grades if we fail to build great values?

Preparing students for the world of work goes beyond technical skills.

Students keep asking:

Why no access?
Why no voice?
Why no say?

That’s why the CEO Student High Table @VUKampala exists.

Because nothing for students should happen without students.

Not just heard. Included.

Take your seat.

We indeed need to act now!

That's why we are intentional about experiential learning; ensuring students don't just leave with academic qualifications, but with practical skills, industry exposure, problem-solving abilities, and real-world experience.

[Dr. Shamim K.Matovu @shamimkmatovu]

Thousands of young people leave school every year with dreams, skills and potential but without opportunities.

The real question isn't why young people leave but how much talent can we afford to lose before we act?

🤔

[Dr. Shamim K.Matovu @shamimkmatovu]

The employability challenge isn't just about students finding jobs.

It's about whether universities are equipping graduates with the skills, mindset, and experience to create value in a changing world.

This feature tells what we are doing differently @VUKampala
