ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
During the first few years after independence in 1962, thanks to post-war recovery and reconstruction, Uganda experienced economic growth and decreasing inequality. However, due to political and civil disorder during the 1970’s, Uganda’s economy declined. The government increased its control over the economy in this time, leading to further economic decline. In 1987, economic reforms consisting of broad growth strategies were introduced, placing the private sector at the forefront of the economic growth process (including investment and trade liberalisation and the privatisation of state-owned enterprises), with the state providing stable macro-economic, legal and institutional frameworks. This led to improved economic growth and reduction of poverty rates in Uganda in the 1990’s and early 2000’s, with an average annual economic growth rate of 7% since the end of political instability in 1986. Uganda, along with Rwanda, is one of the only countries in the East African Region to have achieved a double-digit growth rate. This economic expansion also raised average incomes in Uganda by 80% between 1987 and 2007, as well as a 25% reduction in poverty between 1992 and 2006. Uganda’s lifting of 2.3 million of its citizens above the poverty line over an 18-year period stands in sharp and positive contrast to its neighbours. “The State of East Africa 2012: Deepening Integration, Intensifying Challenge”
With its consistent economic growth, the East African region has attracted signifcant foreign direct investment, estimated at US$ 1.7 billion in 2010.The bulk of this (49%) has gone to Uganda. 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% -5%

Agriculture 2] Grad. Uganda

Industry
Though the agricultural sector employs approximately 70% of the population, growth in this sector has not kept pace with growth in services and construction. Most growth in 2010 was in telecommunications, financial services and construction.The share of Uganda’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from agriculture declined from 50% in 1992 to 23% in 2009, as a result of low productivity, limited value addition and lack of commercialisation. Despite agriculture being the mainstay of the Ugandan economy, the largest share of national output has been in the services sector. In addition, the bulk of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is concentrated in the finance, insurance and business services sector, manufacturing, and the wholesale, retail, catering, accommodation and tourism sector. “Uganda [is] one of the fastest growing economies on the continent and among the most successful countries when it comes to reducing poverty and making progress towards other Millennium Development Goals. Uganda is also widely regarded as one of the most ardent economic reformers in the developing world.” [World Bank (2007). “Uganda: Moving Beyond Recovery. Investment and Behaviour Change for Growth”]

MAIN SECTORS OF EMPLOYMENT As agriculture has declined in importance, manufacturing, construction, and services have been growing rapidly, with the labour force responding by shifting from agriculture into these higher productivity sectors. Since 1992, family farming has experienced the slowest growth of all labour market activities, while non-farm enterprises have grown rapidly. Furthermore, a 2002 study showed that the majority of higher education graduates were employed in services (84%).

The private sector in Uganda consists of a collection of small and medium-size firms and very few large firms, mostly in food processing and finance. According to the Bank of Uganda, about 800,000 small and medium-size enterprises are operational in the country. However, generally speaking, the larger the firm, the larger the share of sector employment. For example, the many small firms in the construction sector employ 19% of the workers in the sector, but the few large firms account for 67% of employment in the construction sector. The exception to this pattern is the tourism sector, which is dominated by small enterprises (93%) which employ 69% of tourism sector workers. In larger firms, university graduates, postgraduates, and professionally trained workers constitute about 28.5% of the workforce while other categories of the workers comprise 6-16% of the workforce. The education level of workers in Uganda varies widely across sectors. The construction industry employs the most educated workers, with almost 45% of the workers in this sector holding a university or professional degree. This share is between 14% and 16% percent for other sectors.
4] Grad. Uganda
A 2009 study of manufacturing, construction, hotels, education, health and horticulture sectors reported that managers and professionals accounted for 34.3% of the employees in the sample. This large share portrayed a wide variation among sectors with the smallest shares being in tourism (15.7%) and commercial agriculture (18.8%). The shares in construction (31.8%) and manufacturing (38.1%) were much larger.The same study showed that those employed in agriculture earned the lowest median monthly income, with the highest earnings being construction, followed closely by health and, lagging somewhat further behind, manufacturing.
Agriculture Agriculture has always been a strategic sector in Uganda’s economy. It contributes approximately 25% percent to GDP, constitutes 90% of total exports earnings, 73% of employment, and about 50% of household income. The agricultural sector comprises three main categories namely cash crops, food crops and horticultural produce. Agriculture is also the major source of raw materials for industry. While it is a key sector contributing to exports, employment, and food security, the sector growth rate has been declining as a result of the fall in volume and productivity, limited value addition, lack of sustainable markets for agro-products, land tenure issues and inadequate agricultural policies and institutions.

Construction From 2006 - 2011 the construction sector has enjoyed rapid growth. However, increases in costs of construction materials have counteracted growth in the sector; an increase of 35.3% was recorded between September 2010 and September 2011, culminating in a performance decline. Even so, managers’ salaries in construction are much higher than those in the other sectors, ref ecting the greater scarcity of skills and higher level of technical knowledge in this sector. Studies have also shown professionals to earn more in the construction sector than other sectors.

Services The services sector (all service sub-sectors combined) contributed 50.3% of GDP in 2010. That is double the contribution of agriculture and industry. In comparison to agriculture and industry, the service sector has consistently portrayed the highest growth potential over a 15 year period. Oil production, scheduled to commence in 2012, is expected to make a substantial contribution to Uganda’s economy in the form of Government revenue.

Trade Trade is one of the main drivers of economic growth in Uganda. For example, the percentage share of trade in GDP grew from 10% in 1997 to 14.3% in 2008. Export diversification is one of Uganda’s trade reform policies that have yielded positive outcomes. Uganda’s exports comprise mainly of unprocessed products, namely traditional exports such as coffee (Uganda’s main export), tobacco, tea and cotton; and non-traditional exports such as horticulture produce, fish and fish products and construction materials. However, between 2000 and 2010, the non-traditional exports have gradually taken over exports as the main source of foreign exchange (72.8% of the total exports), while traditional exports contribute 27.2% of the country’s total exports.

Tourism The tourism sector has shown tremendous growth and is one of the leading foreign exchange earners. Tourism development strategies include the continued development of new tourism products, the promotion of domestic tourism, improved customer services, infrastructure development in and around protected areas, as well as assistance to communities outside the protected areas to develop tourism and other ventures. Tourism contributes about 5.7% of the GDP per annum. The contribution of tourism to employment is predicted to remain at 5.9% of total employment (381,000 jobs or 1 in every 16.9 jobs in 2010, to 5.9% of total employment, 6] Grad. Uganda
509,000 jobs, or 1 in every 17.0 jobs by 2020). Wildlife based tourism alone was estimated to employ 75,000 – 80,000 people in 2008. Uganda’s tourism has also been identified as a primary growth sector. Tourism is the fastest growing industry in the world and, in Uganda, the international visitor numbers have grown exponentially in the past decade. The number of tourists increased four-fold, from less than 200,000 in 1998 to 843,864 in 2008. The sector contributed $590m to the Uganda economy in 2008.

GRADUATE EMPLOYMENT IN UGANDA There are 30 universities in Uganda (both public and private) that produce about 40,000 graduates annually. Popular public debates around graduate employment have revolved around the following issues:
The formal employment sector growth is not proportionate with growth in university enrolment. This has contributed to graduate unemployment and underemployment.
Graduate employment is partly a ‘sociological’ issue; getting a job depends more on who one knows rather than on one’s university education. A 2008 study titled ‘Graduate Unemployment in Uganda: Socioeconomic Factors Exonerating University Training’ reported that 50% of their sample of graduates obtained their first job through a personal contact or worked in a family-owned company.
Questions have been raised about the relevance of training offered in universities which several stakeholders have described as: Overly theoretical and lacking in practicality; Motivated by the traditional prestige associated with a university degree to the extent that students would rather enroll for programs for which employment opportunities are scarce merely for the sake of obtaining a university degree Based on colonial models that fail to address contemporary needs such as poverty, unemployment, underemployment, brain drain, skills development, high costs of education and limited educational opportunities at higher levels Tailored toward employment in the formal sector (white collar jobs), a factor that deters graduates from exploring self-employment as a viable alternative
Recommendations by policy makers regarding employment include:
Investing in skills-based, locally developed technologies (Magezi ga Baganda) amongst university and non-university graduates, with the aim of encouraging self-employment Provision of capital to assist graduates to launch into self-employment Diversification of the economic sectors so as to increase employment opportunities for graduates
10] Grad. Uganda
Employer Insights The following data is based on interviews with employers from leading organisations in East Africa: The Calibre of Graduates Sought Locally as well as internationally trained in any academic discipline Fresh graduates without prior work experience High achievers (upper second class Honours and above) ‘Life smart’ graduates (good general knowledge base and social skills) in addition to academic accomplishments Passionate about their careers Willing to learn Adaptable Ability to work under pressure Courage to take on leadership roles and responsibilities
The General Nature of Graduate Training Programs Duration: 18-36 months on average Target: Early career graduates Aim: To train/mentor young graduates to take on leadership roles within organisations Integrated programs that combine development in functional/technical competencies, leadership development, self-development and learning of organisational cultures Competitive/demand driven Performance based evaluation criteria
Graduate Recruitment Channels Employers utilise a variety of strategies for graduate recruitment. Print media: Neswpapers: Daily Nation, East African, Daily Monitor Notice boards in universities Electronic media: Careers Services Portal Organisational websites Online job recruitment agencies & websites Internal and external advertisements Social Networking LinkedIn Person-to-person networking/referrals Networking directly with university students through career fairs, clubs, societies, etc. Internship and volunteer programs
Grad. Uganda {11
Bene fits of Graduate Training Programs Graduate training programs offer several benefits to graduates: Upward mobility through comprehensive training programs tailored towards managerial positions Competitive salaries commensurate with one’s level at the point of entry Additional benefits e.g. medical cover, opportunities for involvement in community projects Opportunities for new graduates without prior work experience Flexibility i.e. the programs cater for graduates from a wide variety of academic disciplines Diverse work environment facilitating broad exposure nationally and internationally ‘Stretch factor’ i.e. numerous opportunities for career and personal development Softer skills development incorporated into training programs including social grooming in some induction programs Expectations Voiced by Graduates At Interviews High remuneration Rapid movement up the ranks to senior management positions Quest for diverse exposure in the workplace An environment that promotes career development e.g. training opportunities and study leave Support and guidance through mentoring Flexible working schedules A responsive work environment
Realities About the Ugandan Graduate Job Market The market is very competitive and performance based Employers’ responses:
The higher one’s marks, the better one’s chances of securing an interview Graduates who portray a sense of clear career direction with concrete plans have higher chances of gaining employment There is a discrepancy between theoretical knowledge and practical application Employers’ responses:
Prior participation in practical ventures such as internships, club memberships and community service give graduates better leverage when seeking employment
Employers are looking for additional unique skills beyond academic qualifcations
12] Grad. Uganda
The quality of Ugandan graduates trained in local universities has improved with the introduction of mandatory internships for students in degree programs such as Commerce and Accounting Employers’ responses:
Internationally trained graduates should be aware that their training is comparable to that of locally trained graduates in contrast to the past where international qualifications were regarded as superior Remuneration is usually commensurate with one’s level of experience and the nature of the organisation hiring, in addition to other mitigating factors Employers’ responses:
A graduate with no work experience has little bargaining power compared to one with significant work experience
Graduates, and more so those joining organisations at entry level, need to have reasonable salary expectations, bearing in mind that they will be paid based on their job levels
Advice to Students
Know what you want/have clear goals; candidates who can articulate their career
plans and goals are more attractive to prospective employers than those who seem unsure about their plans Be proactive in your quest for employment Do not apply for a position you are not interested in just because there is a vacancy Do not be solely focused on financial gain - your selling point is what you can offer the organisation rather than what the organisation can offer you Remember that most organisations have a high performance-based culture. One has to work hard to keep one’s job Do not focus solely on ‘textbook knowledge’. Obtain practical exposure through internships, volunteering and participation in clubs and societies while at university Preparation for interviews is important – visit organisations’ websites and engage in some background research prior to attending a job interview Humility is an asset. Be down to earth when interacting with potential employers

Facilitation in various university academic programmes, supervision of student research, design and conducting of research projects, development of courses, provision of consulting services to university clients in my area of expertise. What are the best and most challenging parts of your job?

How has your academic and sociocultural experience at UCT influenced your career? The exposure at UCT instils rigor and confidence that is critical in all one does. For example, the rigor with which I have tackled issues has rendered me invaluable to the different communities I serve in the areas of critical evaluation of programmes and the environments in which we serve as well as new product development. What advice would you give to students from your country planning to study at UCT? To maximally utilise the excellent academic resources the university has at its disposal to enhance their proficiency in whatever pursuit they choose.

BSc Geomatics, MSc Engineering (Specialising in Geomatics), Certificate in Teaching Development
{
Name of your organisation and department? Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) Department of Civil Engineering and Surveying. Your current job title/designation? Lecturer: Professional Land Surveyor How did you get your current job? I served on an organising committee for an international Geomatics conference held in Cape Town. The Head of Department of Civil Engineering and Surveying happened to be on the same committee and encouraged me to apply for the position. I had just started my Masters degree, and I welcomed the opportunity to be part of the team creating a new accredited diploma in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) at CPUT - the first of its kind in South Africa. What does your job entail on a day-to-day basis? It entails (a) lecturing in the Civil Engineering and Surveying diplomas and (b) supervising research in GIS and Remote Sensing at Honours level. What are the best and most challenging parts of your job? I love my career. My grandfather and father were also Land Surveyors and it gives me great joy to mentor young people as they join this prestigious career. It is often a challenge to keep students interested in their academics with all the distractions available to them. How has your academic and sociocultural experience at UCT influenced your career? UCT taught me to aim for the highest. We were encouraged to change the societies we belong to for the better. This has filtered into the sort of research I do. I have focused my studies on using GIS in mapping risk and vulnerability in informal settlements because I believe that our careers should actually yield tangible results at a grassroot level. Our research often provides input for local communities and local government in planning around informal settlements. What advice would you give to students from your country planning to study at UCT? They should already be at UCT. Seriously though, they should relish the opportunity and take advantage of all the facilities and communities at UCT to grow their skills. Ugandans are generally hardworking people and I believe they will succeed at UCT. What insights can you share with other students from Africa after they graduate from UCT? I believe that UCT equips us to be cognizant of the issues that influence societies around Africa. As graduates, we need to identify at least one area in our respective societies that we are equipped to change, and ensure that we do not leave our societies the same. Change does not have to be phenomenal, but we need to initiate the first step of the journey and believe we have what it takes to see it through. Grad. Uganda {31

Name of your organisation and department? Groote Schuur Hospital, Department of Medicine. Your current job title/designation? Medical Officer. How did you get your current job? I was already part of the system as a health sciences student and was thus aware of internal vacancies. I was invited to apply for the position. What does your job entail on a day-to-day basis? My work is primarily clinical: making diagnoses, treatment and follow-up of patients. What are the best and most challenging parts of your job? Having to work on night duty is the most challenging part of my job. The best part of my job is to observe medically unstable patients stabilize under my care. How has your academic and sociocultural experience at UCT influenced your career? Give one example. As an international student, my UCT experience with people from various African cultures which has afforded me intercultural exposure. Practically, such exposure has equipped me to interact better with my patients in that I have a better understanding of the cultural dynamics hence I am more sensitive when interacting with them. What advice would you give to students from your country planning to study at UCT? One should be prepared to go beyond academic pursuits and make an effort to reach out and interact with other people as this is the only way to maximize on your entire UCT experience. Your stay at UCT can otherwise be a rather lonely experience. What insights can you share with other students from Africa after they graduate from UCT? In whatever field one is, research is very important, because it gives you evidence for whatever you do. As such, it is imperative to incorporate research in whatever career line that one chooses.

How has your academic and sociocultural experience at UCT influenced your career? The late nights spent in the UCT labs were a good preparation for the extended working hours we have. My interaction with friends from different cultural backgrounds prepared me well for the different cultures I have had to adapt to in the different locations the job has taken me. What advice would you give to students from your country planning to study at UCT? Being accepted into UCT is easier than managing to stay in. Graduating is even harder, and it doesn’t guarantee any jobs after. One has to work very hard at every point to archieve one’s dreams. But most importantly, one shouldn’t forget to have fun at UCT because when one leaves, all that is left are the memories. What insights can you share with other students from Africa after they graduate from UCT? From my point of view, Africa holds alot of business opportunities. It’s up to us as graduates to use the various lessons learnt to mould Africa into the business market we want.

Being at UCT has enabled me to interact with experts in my area of research and to travel widely in Europe and the United States to present my research findings at international conferences. As a result, I have met and built networks with leading scholars in my field. My academic publications will enable me to apply for promotion to Senior Lecturer after graduation. Had I undertaken PhD studies in Uganda, I would not have the funding to travel to conferences. UCT prides itself in the amount of research they disseminate. What advice would you give to students from your country planning to study at UCT? I found my experience as a graduate student at UCT very rewarding. UCT and Cape Town always felt like home away from home being only about 5 hours f ight from Entebbe. In addition, UCT gives the best value for money in terms of academic excellence and emphasis on research. Moreover, socially, the city of Cape Town has a diversity of cultures. The night life and food are great! You can never leave UCT the same. What insights can you share with other students from Africa after they graduate from UCT? UCT offers a challenging and rewarding experience both in terms of academic and student life. UCT also has some of the leading academics in various fields thus it is very prestigious to be associated with UCT. 34] Grad. Uganda

That UCT offers quality education and that they should strive to engage in extra-mural activities that allow them to grow beyond the lecture theatre and tutorial rooms. What insights can you share with other students from Africa after they graduate from UCT? I encourage students to be open to taking up opportunities in other African countries, besides their countries of origin. This would give one more options to explore and opportunities to consider taking up. In addition apply to reputable organisations that you feel will give you the opportunity to practise the knowledge and skills acquired from your degree.

WORKING IN SOUTH AFRICA
If you have studied at a South African university and want to remain in South Africa to work, you will require a work permit.
4 common types of work permits
There are available to foreign nationals wanting to work in South Africa:
General Work Permit This has very strict requirements, such as proving you are the only person who can fill the position, including that there is no South African who can fill the position, and having a job offer/contract from an employer already. The work permit is issued in the name of the employer, thereby tying you to the employer for the period in which you work in South Africa. A change of jobs/employers requires a new permit to be applied for and issued.
Intra-Company Transfer Permit Foreigners employed abroad by a business that either operates in South Africa or has a subsidiary or affiliate relationship with a business here may be issued with an intracompany transfer permit if they need to work in the country.
Quota Work Permits Quotas for foreign workers who fall into certain categories can also be issued by the Department of Home Affairs. These permits are not tied to a specific employer, but do require 5 years of work experience. See the Government Gazette for details: www.services.gov.za/services/content/Home/ ServicesforForeignNationals/Temporaryresidence/ applyforquotaworkpermit/en_ZA
Exceptional Skills Work Permits As the name implies, this permit is for those with exceptional skills or qualifications. A letter from a foreign/South African organ of state, South Africa academic, business
