ICT Careers' Guidance
What is your idea? What makes it innovative? Why is it important?
Provision of Information Technology/Information Communication Technology- Careers’ guidance to students, adults. Through media, I can give current, accurate information about courses, careers, benefits, of ICTs. The more people know about ICT today, the more they are able to use diverse media to champion any cause for a better world.
Will you launch your idea as a business or non-profit?
Non-profit
Country your work focuses on
Uganda
What will be the impact of your idea?
With this knowledge, individuals will make informed decisions about how to learn and use ICTs to best suit what they do and improve their lives. Teenagers who get career counseling workshops benefit the most. Not only will they learn which careers they are most suited for, but they will also learn to use different media to achieve different objectives.
In a country like Uganda, encouraging, guiding and embracing ICT will improve on work efficiency, information dissemination, consumption of ICT related goods and services, reduce the digital divide and therefore, national development.
The power of a mobile phone, Digital television and the Internet cannot be harnessed without the knowledge of Information Technology. Guiding one to go about it, is key.
Who will help you develop your idea? Why are you the one to make this happen?
I am in touch with the commissioner in charge of the Department of Careers’ guidance in the Ministry of Education and Sports, careers’ guidance teachers in schools and media practitioners in media houses like Uganda Broadcasting Corporation TV, Voice of Africa FM and The Daily Monitor newspaper.
I am the one to make it happen as most people in this Country who work in the media and do Careers’ guidance and counseling have not studied Information Technology in depth. Secondly, those who have studied IT and have the experience to do it are too busy to find time to do something like this. Some are in lecture rooms while others are in Server rooms - if not surfing the internet. I want to bridge the gap.
How much will it cost to launch your idea? (This can be an estimate)
1 Laptop =2,000,000; Furniture, variety, =1,000,000; Internet connection=500,000; Vehicle Used=15,000,000; 2 Staff =2,000,000; Rent=1,000,000; Printer Colored, =250,000; Video camera =800,000; Projector, =4,000,000; Establishing Radio/Television programs= 3,000,000; Registration and license =3,000,000; Sound recorder= 300,000; Content Production=1,250,000; Miscellaneous= 1,000,000. Grand Total = 35,100,000/= [$17,550]
