The past five to six weeks have been a busy time for our Career Positioning Program. We have completed training modules on CV & cover letter writing, formal writing and public speaking, and management and leadership in an effort to better prepare our 2017 Cohort of Young Leaders for the modern workplace.

During this time, we have worked with experts in the fields of human resources, media and communications, and management in leading these learning seminars. For example, Ms. Racheal Ninsiima, from Makerere University’s School of Journalism and Communication, and Ms. Sarah Owembabazi co-led a seminar on ‘Communication Skills: Public Speaking and Writing for Young Leaders”. Ms. Tauba Marian, a human resources expert led a separate seminar on ‘Basic Skills in CV and Cover Letter Writing’ while Mulumba Badru led a session on management and leadership.

We are currently working to support these young leaders as they put into practice what they have learned by assigning them activities, take-home assignments, among other upcoming practical sessions.

We cannot believe that program (and the year!) is about to end. For more of the pictorial, check out our Flickr page via this link: https://www.flickr.com/photos/147097694@N06/albums/with/72157677919074686
