Bibiana, a 25-year-old Human Resource
professional at Pearl Dairies Farm Limited, holds a Bachelor’s degree in
Business Administration, majoring in Human Resource Management, from Makerere
University. Sponsored by the MasterCard Foundation during her studies, she
first encountered the Work Readiness Programme (WRP) while at university. After
participating in a WRP under MasterCard, officials from the Private Sector
Foundation Uganda (PSFU) introduced her to the Enabel WRP. She registered
through the PSFU portal and, after successful interviews, secured a position at
Pearl Dairies.
Bibiana found the physical skills training immensely
beneficial and is grateful for the exposure to work life, allowing her to
practice what she studied. Her role includes recruitment, attendance tracking,
and supervising the canteen staff, among other duties. She has gained
confidence through participating in interview panels and organizing workplace
events, such as celebrating staff birthdays. Supervising a predominantly male
workforce has sharpened her problem-solving skills, especially in conflict
resolution, a challenge she initially found daunting but has since mastered.
Her most notable achievement at Pearl Dairies
is the transformation of the staff canteen, where she introduced order and
improved hygiene standards. Bibiana acknowledges the challenges recent
graduates, particularly women, face, including the threat of exploitation, and
she highly recommends the WRP for all recent graduates in Uganda.
