Honorable Naome Kabashariira, the Member of Parliament for Rushenyi County, has issued a compelling call to students, particularly those in higher education, urging them to shift their focus from seeking traditional employment to becoming creators of jobs themselves.
She made these remarks today during a multifaceted event at Rap Tech Institute of Business and Technology in Ntungamo Municipality, which included the induction of new students, the swearing-in ceremony for the institution’s new guild team, and the farewell of graduating students.
Kabashariira voiced her concern about the prevalent mindset among Ugandan graduates who remain passive in their pursuit of white-collar jobs, which are becoming increasingly scarce. She encouraged students to maintain a proactive approach by engaging in income-generating ventures while also pursuing opportunities in their chosen fields.
Furthermore, Kabasharira emphasized the pivotal role of a guild team within an institution, highlighting its significance in promoting discipline and elevating academic standards. She urged for a harmonious collaboration between students, the guild team, and the school administration to foster a conducive learning environment.
Syrivia Nawhera, the outgoing Guild President, commended the school administration for their efforts in partnering with the guild team to uphold discipline within the institution. She challenged the incoming guild team to uphold these standards and work diligently to enhance both academic and moral values among students.
Rodgers Aijuka, the founder of Rap Tech Institute of Business and Technology, reassured new students of the administration’s commitment to their welfare and academic success. He called upon the incoming guild team to serve as role models for their peers to promote discipline and excellence within the institute.
