So, as a fresh graduate- try volunteering in some companies and slowly by slowly time will come when you get employed,\u201d she advised hundreds in Ibanda Municipality on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Businessman Patrick Bitature, who is one of the Ibada University directors, also advised the graduands to be trustworthy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe patient, you can start small and achieve your long-term goals instead of having high expectations that can frustrate your whole future. But also, when you get that dream job be trustworthy,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n<p>Jeeb Rwomushana, another director, asked the government to create more employment opportunities for graduates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, set up more industries to absorb these graduates we have skilled. This will help in reducing the high employment rates the country is facing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ibanda University Vice Chancellor Professor Emmanuel Karooro decried limited access to internet services by the university but also reminded the government to fulfil the presidential pledge of a bus for the learning institution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur guest of honor, you are aware that we are now in a digital world, but we hardly access internet services. We request the government to help us get reliable internet access. The president also pledged to give us a 65-seater bus. Kindly help us in making sure this is fulfilled,\u201d Professor Karoro said.<\/p>\n<p>At the graduation, 668 students were awarded degrees, diplomas and certificates in different disciplines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
