Women for centuries have been the backbone of the economy, using every possible creative means available to them to make ends meet. “If you take anything home today, it should be that the ability for your business to grow entirely depends on how much work you put in. Develop solutions to a problem around you with the right tools then watch your business flourish.” Joanita Nvannungi started as she welcomed the ladies to the Women in Tech workshop aimed at introducing digital tools for business productivity at the Innovation Village in Gulu.

During our recruitment drive for September 2020, we realized that many people were hesitant to apply to the program because they had questions. So we decided to organize and host an info session aimed at providing some clarity and give some answers.

The uncertainty of the school being opened continues to loom over the country but we seek to remain relevant even in times such as these. With that in mind, we went ahead to plan and host the very first Refactory Virtual university conversation (One of many to come) that was marred with a panel that had a vast wealth of experience and were ready and eager to share.

Remember the Microsoft skills lab training we mentioned 2 weeks ago? Well, here's Neil Davis (The facilitator) as he shares his experience with the students and what his take-home points were.

When I was at the University, the thought of leaving the comfort of my tiny hostel room to engage in anything on a Saturday was unbearable. That wasn’t the case for the students of the Developer Students Club at Uganda Christian University.

Wednesday 29th January was no ordinary day at Refactory, it was the day we hosted our first-ever career day. The aim was to create a platform where students that are part of the Refactory program who are looking to enter employment get to interface with the game-changers in the tech industry. Safe to say it was a success.

“The launch of a website used to be an event.” Program Director Michael spreads his arms and looks at the 70 students and staff assembled in a computer lab at Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST).
