WorldSkills Uganda participated in the Skills and Awards Symposium held on the sidelines of the Uganda International Trade Fair at UMA Show Grounds, Lugogo on Saturday.
Organised by the Uganda Manufacturers Association (UMA) and Kampala Capacity Development Institute (KCDI), the discussions focused on strengthening collaboration between industry, technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions, government, and development partners to address skills gaps, improve access to modern training facilities and promote sustainable models for skills development.
The engagement provided a platform to advance industry-relevant training, promote skills excellence and strengthen partnerships that prepare young people for the world of work.
Building a skilled workforce requires collective action. Through stronger public-private partnerships, Uganda can bridge the gap between training and industry needs while creating more opportunities for young people.
