Empowering young minds to dream, explore, and shape their future.
The atmosphere at St. Kliment Ohridski International School buzzed with excitement as students, teachers, and guests gathered for one of the most anticipated events of the term Career Day 2025.
Held right here on our beautiful Gulu campus, the event brought together professionals from across Uganda and beyond, offering our students a priceless opportunity to explore, ask, and imagine what their future could look like.
A Day of Discovery and Inspiration
From doctors and engineers to pilots, entrepreneurs, digital innovators, and artists the lineup of speakers was as diverse as our student body. Each professional shared not only their career path but also the challenges, lessons, and defining moments that shaped their journey.
Students from all grade levels were eager to learn, asking questions about what it takes to build a career that matters. For many, it was their first time meeting real-world role models face-to-face and the spark of inspiration was impossible to miss.
Hands-On Sessions and Interactive Exhibits
In true St. Kliment fashion, Career Day wasn’t just about listening — it was about doing.
Students rotated through interactive booths and workshops where they could:
- Test science experiments with engineers and lab technicians.
- Try coding games and robotics demonstrations with IT experts.
- Practice public speaking and leadership skills in mini challenges.
- Explore creative arts, music, and design sessions.
The goal? To give every child a taste of different career paths helping them see how their passions and talents can shape their future.
Mentorship and Guidance
A special highlight of the day was the Career Mentorship Corner, where professionals sat down with small groups of students for heart-to-heart conversations. These moments encouraged learners to set goals, build confidence, and understand that every big dream starts with small, consistent steps.
Teachers, too, played a key role guiding students to connect classroom knowledge with real-world applications, reinforcing that learning at St. Kliment is not just for exams, but for life.
Bridging the Gap Between School and the Future
Career Day is part of our continued effort to prepare students for a fast-changing world. As an international school offering the A.C.E. Curriculum, St. Kliment Ohridski emphasizes holistic education nurturing character, leadership, creativity, and global awareness.
