On Wednesday, the National Social Security Fund sensitized Gulu University students with career development tips and financial management skills.
This is part of the NSSF annual NSSF Career Expo initiative.
It is an initiative through which university students are equipped with skills and knowledge to increase their employment and entrepreneurship opportunities and financial management skills to improve their saving culture.
Osbert Asimwe, the NSSF Northern Regional Compliance Team Leader said the expo is good for the students’ career development and life after campus.
