7th edition
Looking back at the 7th National Career Guidance Day
Schools from across the country came to Kololo on 20 March 2026 for a day about the future of work in the age of artificial intelligence.
The 7th National Career Guidance Day took place on Friday 20 March 2026 at Kololo Independence Grounds, under the theme The Future of Work: Surviving in the AI Era.
Schools travelled to Kampala from across the country. Learners heard speakers on how technology is changing work, visited the stands of universities, vocational institutions and employers, and asked about the careers they are considering.
On the grounds
Between sessions, learners walked the exhibition tents, where institutions explained their courses and handed out guidance materials. On the main stage, school choirs, dance groups and performers kept the grandstand on its feet, and marching bands led processions across the parade ground.
What comes next
The 8th edition, on Saturday 20 March 2027, builds on the 7th. Its theme, Arise and Align, turns to preparing learners early and to creating wealth, with activities for primary pupils for the first time.
