This week we officially kickstarted the skilling of 75 youth from Karamoja in hospitality, tourism and site guiding.
Uganda is one of world’s youngest countries and is facing a huge challenge with its unemployed youth. On the contrary, there’s a lack of skilled staff in the tourism and hospitality sector in the country.
As Karamoja Tourism Academy, we aim at bridging the gap through skilling our youth from Karamoja and matching them with job opportunities through work-based learning program.
Karamoja Guides for Uganda Tour Guide Training Assessors – Two years ago we founded the Karamoja Tourism Academy and relied heavily on people from other regions to assess our students. Today we’re celebrating the graduation of our very own Karamoja Guides for Tour Guide Training Assessors.
Practical Assessment Karamoja Hiking Guides on Mount Moroto – We have concluded a fantastic week of assessing Karamoja’s Hiking Guides along the Warrior Nomad Trail for a future made-to-measure training programme that will be piloted with this group next year.
27th September 2022, at World Tourism Day Celebrations, Kara-Tunga Tours was recognized by the Government of Uganda Ministry of Tourism, Trade and Industry, Uganda for Its “Passion and Promotion of Community Tourism in Uganda”.
