The Chairperson of the Directorate of Industrial Training (DIT) Council, Dr Ruth Biyinzika Kasolo has called upon graduates from vocational institutes, to desist from undermining their hard-earned qualifications.
Dr Biyinzika said that many graduates from vocational institutes refuse to pursue their careers and instead start admiring degree holders, the majority of whom she said are job seekers.
She said there are many people that have four degrees but when they cannot do anything thus noting that a person with a vocational skill will always survive in all circumstances.
She made the remarks while officiating at the 13th graduation ceremony of Jimmy Sekasi Business Institute (JSBI) at Sharing Hall-Nsambya on Tuesday, November 28.
She explains that even abroad they need skilled people noting that skills are paramount, especially in situations where the government is trying hard to curb the unemployment crisis.
