Career Day 2027
The 8th National Career Guidance Day is on Saturday 20 March 2027
Arise and Align: the 8th edition comes to Kololo Independence Grounds, with activities for primary pupils and a new focus on money and enterprise.
The 8th National Career Guidance Day takes place on Saturday 20 March 2027, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, at Kololo Independence Grounds in Kampala. Incredible Youth International organises the Day in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Sports.
The theme: Arise and Align
The theme for 2027 is Arise and Align: Building Wealthy Mindsets from the Foundation. “Arise” asks learners to take their abilities seriously and work on them. “Align” is about matching those abilities with the right subjects, courses and careers, with help from parents, teachers, institutions and employers. The sub-theme adds money: earning, saving, planning and enterprise, taught from primary school up.
What is new this year
- Primary pupils. For the first time, the programme includes learners aged 10 to 12, with their parents and teachers.
- Learning tracks by age. From midday, learners split into tracks for their age group, from Discover and Create for primary pupils to the Innovation Lab for university students.
- Money Matters. A new zone on the grounds, with practical sessions on saving, budgeting and starting a business.
How to register
Registration is open on The Collar360, the sponsor and official digital partner of the Day, and takes about two minutes. The fee is UGX 20,000, which covers meals on the day and an attendance certificate. Teachers can register a whole class with one payment.
More than 50,000 learners and young people are expected at Kololo, along with over 500 educators, institution leaders and policymakers.
