Mr. Richard Ahalikundira sought to
acquire professional skills after graduating with a Bachelor’s in Social Work
and Social Administration from Uganda Pentecostal University. He was attracted
to Enabel’s Work Readiness Programme (WRP) which equips graduates with both soft and
technical skills through hands-on experience in work environments. Through this
programme, Ahalikundira secured a position as a tour guide at Trek Rwenzori Tours
in Fort Portal.
In his daily role, Ahalikundira
ensures that tourists reach their destinations and return safely. This
experience has enhanced his interactive skills as he communicates with visitors
throughout their journey. He has also developed record-keeping abilities and
improved his time-management skills since joining the Programme.
Richard takes pride in the
opportunity to explore tourist sites such as crater lakes: “I have learned
about Uganda’s history and culture, which I share with tourists as part of my
job”, he says.
He appreciates the six-month WRP, believing it provides sufficient time for graduates to acquire
essential skills for formal employment. He describes his experience as
“helpful” and notes that the Programme has broadened his social network.
