Kampala, Uganda – BrighterMonday Uganda has teamed up with the ICT Innovation Hub to enhance the employability of job seekers in the country.
The partnership, which was announced recently, aims to equip job seekers with the essential skills required to succeed in the modern job market. According to Xenia Wachira, Country Manager at BrighterMonday Uganda, the partnership is a strategic move to address the skills gap in Uganda’s job market.
