My name is Kiweewa Joel Julius. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work and Social Administration from Muteesa I Royal University Masaka and today I’m employed because of that very course people love to disrespect online. Funny enough, in my entire bloodline, I was the first to pursue SWSA. Some relatives who did the “prestigious” science and law courses are still job hunting while I’m out here building my career and thriving. So spare us the shallow narrative that arts courses are useless. Uganda’s unemployment crisis is not caused by SWSA, Literature, Arts or Humanities. The real problem is a broken system where jobs move through connections, corruption and luck before merit even gets a seat at the table. A few of us survive on merit but many qualified graduates are locked out regardless of what they studied. The same leaders telling students to abandon arts courses held a whole mindset change retreat preaching against corruption, then walked away with UGX 100 million each in allowances funded by taxpayers. The same country preaching “science first” still survives on loans from investors and development partners. Maybe stop attacking students for choosing SWSA and start fixing the systems creating unemployment in the first place. Social workers are still needed because poverty, unemployment, GBV, child neglect, mental health crises and community breakdowns didn’t disappear. The problem isn’t arts students. The problem is leaders who talk socio-economic transformation but never walk the talk.

@MbaziiraKazibwe Hon. waiting for my invite and location

At Cocoland we dont just talk about coffee farming. We open spaces to live life fully. By the way, all this is happening at the farm. #DigitalAgroTourism #VisitCocoland

@unischsguide1 Great insight, appreciate

You’re not stuck—you’re just at a turning point. If you’re a theoretical graduate, here’s the truth: your degree is not useless—but on its own, it’s not enough anymore. The good news? You can fix this faster than you think. Start here: Pick one practical skill aligned to your field (digital, tech, business, communication). Don’t scatter—focus. Give yourself 90 days to learn it well enough to do real work, not just understand it. Build proof—projects, a portfolio, small gigs. Employers trust what you can show, not what you say. Get experience early—intern, volunteer, freelance. Even small opportunities matter if they build your competence. Use your degree as a foundation, not a destination—combine your theory with skill, and you become valuable. Stop waiting for the “perfect job.” Start becoming the person companies can’t ignore. Your recovery is simple: Close the skill gap—and your opportunities will open up.

Dear Student, Before you choose a course (programme), pause and ask yourself: Will this decision give me skills—or just a certificate? The Reality You Must Face The numbers are clear—and they should concern you: Only about 12% of Ugandan graduates secure formal employment Uganda produces over 700,000 graduates every year, but far fewer jobs exist Youth underutilization is above 40%, meaning many are unemployed or stuck in low-quality jobs. This could easily be you! About 41% of young people are not in employment, education, or training (NEET). Graduate unemployment can reach up to 15% or more, depending on the field This is not because graduates are not educated—it is because many are not skilled for the job market. The Hard Truth Employers are not asking: “What did you study?” They are asking: “What can you do?” In fact, many job seekers are rejected due to lack of practical skills and experience The Question Is Yours Are you choosing a course because: It sounds prestigious? Others are doing it? You simply qualified for it? Or because it will make you employable, skilled, and future-ready? What You Should Do Choose a course that: Builds hands-on, practical skills Includes internships and real-world exposure Connects you to industry opportunities Encourages innovation and problem-solving Your Future Depends on This Uganda’s challenge is not lack of education—it is a skills gap. And your course choice will either: Position you for opportunity or Leave you struggling in a crowded job market Conclusion As @ReachDrMuganga always says, “Don’t just choose a course. Choose a skill. Choose relevance. Choose your future. You must future-proof yourself.” @cbusinge says: Be intentional. Don’t be mistaken.

The work we do is shaped by people, who give their time, skills and energy. Happy labour Day.✨ #labourday #volunteers

Our own @hatinamakula will moderate this. If you are young or young-ish and Ugandan, listen in.

On Saturday, we had a First Aid training by @UgandaRedCross. We learned how to respond to everyday emergencies; burns, fractures, electric shocks & more because showing up for our communities also means being prepared to care, support and act when needed. #Iam4040

@rkabushenga Well done senior @rkabushenga , how do I get to be part of the next experience at @RugyeyoFarmLtd

Kabushenga’s Thoughts Doing Fulfilling Things Today, I took a group of people to my coffee farm. It was eclectic mix of those who want to follow in the footsteps of my farming journey and others who simply wanted a weekend out on a farm. I had stopped doing this six years ago. Then I gave a talk on coffee to a Business Fireside Chat at the Bight of Benin Restaurant in Kampala last February. By the end of it, there was a push for me to do this again. I agreed. And so it happened. What we do on these tours is to explain the complexities of farming coffee. I always want to make sure that by the end of it all, there is no illusion about the business of growing coffee. Part of the problem is the positive financial performance of the coffee sector . The perception now is that there is a lot of assured quick and big money to be made. This is false. And when I respond to the curious, I make a point to disabuse them of this misconception. The other way I do this is by giving my visitors a real experience of some the work we do on the fair. So they understand what it actually takes to grow coffee and take it to market. On this occasion I took them through the tedium of picking ripe coffee cherries. After some walking over the whole morning, they only managed a harvest of 6 kgs. They were tired. My point was made. The work of growing coffee to the point where it can be sold, is tough. Eleven years ago this week, I planted the first coffee seedling at @RugyeyoFarmLtd. Over the years I have understood that while coffee farming is an exacting undertaking, it is the one segment of the value chain where most Ugandans can participate for financial return. It is the only opportunity open to us as local Ugandans to generate and capture value. The other segments have prohibitively high financial barriers to entry. Even where public investment is made like Tanzania did in secondary processing of ready to drink coffee, it has only benefitted factory owners or state employees who run the government outfit. Farmer incomes remain unchanged, in fact they bring their coffee green beans for sale in the lucrative market of Uganda. In Uganda, the farmer pockets 85% of the international market price. The way to improve farmer turnover is public investment in farmer ability to get hogs yields and improve quality. This higher turnover will translate into taxable income for the Treasury. Margins can be better if some of the costs like fertilizer and water can be subsidized. This will pay for itself through ability to employ more people. You would think these things would be obvious. But there is the old adage about the prevalence of common sense. So people like me will do what we can. To grow our coffee and mentor those who have the courage to try this. It is the perfect celebration and payback for being a part of this fulfilling coffee farming journey

Happy birthday Ruth.🎊 #volunteer #Iam4040

My classmate, Ssengo Reagan is a 5th-year medical student now facing a difficult time after losing his mother, who had been battling breast cancer. She was his main source of support, and her passing has made it hard for him to clear his tuition. Any contribution can help him stay in school and finish his journey to becoming a doctor. 🙏
