Victoria University has kicked off offering Uganda Business and Technical Examinations Board (UBTEB) Certificate courses in a bid to boost practical and hands-on learning.
Victoria University Vice Chancellor Dr Lawrence Muganga noted that the future job market, which is rapidly evolving, demands a shift in the educational approaches and merely having a degree is often insufficient, especially if it lacks practical, hands-on learning.
“It is crucial to consider specialized certificate programs that emphasize real-life experience, and there’s no better place for this than Victoria University. Our programs are more practically grounded than any other degree in the country, ensuring you gain the skills employers are seeking,” Muganga said.
Muwanga added, “At Victoria University, we offer practical programs designed to help you secure a job. If you’re a graduate struggling to find employment, now is the time to pursue a certificate.”
Additionally, the University provides language courses in Chinese and English to enhance students’ job prospects.
Muuganga further noted that this institute is unique in offering a completely different scope of learning. Whether one is a graduate, a senior four certificate holder, or someone looking for practical skills to build a successful career, Victoria University is the ideal destination. Adding, “Don’t miss out on this opportunity and our application deadline is approaching soon.”
These programmes not only prepare students for immediate employment but also offer pathways to further education, including diploma and degree courses. They are also ideal for graduates seeking to enhance their skill set.
Muganga explained that by emphasizing hands-on training, Victoria University aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and the skills demanded by the job market, contributing significantly to reducing unemployment in our country.
