HI INNOVATOR IMPACT STORY

Shaping the Future of Uganda’s Young Entrepreneurs! Towards the end of last year and earlier this year, we embarked on an exciting activation to introduce the HiInnovator Program to students in various institutions across the country. This initiative, led by NSSF and the MasterCard Foundation, and implemented by *Outbox, has provided students with invaluable opportunities to choose between the Business Foundation Course and the Career Planning Course – both designed to equip them with practical skills for their entrepreneurial and professional journeys. Students who enrolled in the Business Foundation Course gained vital knowledge in business management, learned how to prepare profit and loss statements, set both short- and long-term goals, and discovered the importance of branding, promotion, and sales strategies for business growth. Meanwhile, those who took the Career Planning Course benefited from enhanced career guidance, understanding how to align their passions with career goals, personal branding, and job market navigation. This course has been crucial in helping students strategically plan for their futures, whether as entrepreneurs or professionals. The HiInnovator Academy offers even more courses like E – Business essentials, Business Compliance among others to support young innovators in building successful ventures and thriving careers. A huge thank you to Outbox for expertly implementing the program, and to NSSF and the MasterCard Foundation for creating such a transformative initiative. The impact on Uganda’s youth has been profound, providing them with the skills and confidence to forge ahead in their entrepreneurial and career pursuits. Together, we are building the next generation of business and industry leaders!
