At Women In Technology Uganda, we are strengthening how digital skills training is delivered to ensure it is accessible to all women.

Over the past two days, our trainers have undergone intensive training in 𝐉𝐀𝐖𝐒 (𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞), a screen reader that enables persons with visual impairment to independently use computers through audio output.

Trainers also took part in simulation exercises, working blindfolded to experience how persons with visual impairment navigate computers using screen readers. This builds practical understanding, not just technical knowledge.

This week, we kicked off interaction sessions for Cohort 5 of our Digital Skilling Program at Women In Technology Uganda.

Across our Kampala and Mbarara hubs, young women who applied to the program are attending one-on-one sessions as part of the selection and onboarding process.

Participants are joining sessions for the following learning courses:

- Digital Marketing
- Graphics Design
- Web Development
- Basic Computer skills
- Data Analytics

These interaction sessions are a core part of how we build a program that works.

They allow us to:

1. Understand each participant’s goals, availability, and readiness.
2. Identify their interests, strengths, and career direction.
3. Guide them toward the right learning pathway based on their aspirations.
4. Set clear expectations before training begins.

This process ensures that participants are not just enrolled, but placed in environments where they can succeed.

At Women In Technology Uganda, we are intentional about building pathways where young women are prepared, supported, and positioned for real opportunities in the digital economy.

A career is not just about employment. It is about economic empowerment.

In our latest conversation, we explore how young women can build careers strategically and intentionally. Too often, career decisions are made without clarity about long term goals, income potential, or desired lifestyle.

We encourage young women to start with the life they want to build, then design a career that supports it.

This episode covers:
• Why clarity is the foundation of career growth
• The link between career strategy and financial independence
• The importance of building skills that solve real problems
• How income creates options, stability, and leadership capacity

When young women build high income, in demand skills, they strengthen not only themselves, but their families and communities.

Watch, share, and join us in advancing gender equality through strategic career development.
