Karamoja Tourism Academy and partners kickstarted the ‘Boost the Employability of Tourism employees in Elgon and Karamoja’ project. 20 ambitious business leaders participated in the first workshop to develop the framework for the 2 years project.
The project aims at addressing the emerging needs of the rapidly developing tourism sector in northeast Uganda. It focuses on equipping staff with key knowledge and skills to help businesses thrive. A few examples are Digital Marketing, Customer Experience, Sustainability, Tourism Product Development and Packaging, Cocktail making, and Coffee Barista.
We are excited to support the project and together build a community-led and competitive regional tourism sector.
