Abstract
Every year, thousands of students complete Advanced Level and face a long waiting period before joining University. During this "transition gap," students often have limited structured engagement or income opportunities. From economic perspective, this is a period of underutilised human capital, where young people's skills and potential life lie idle, representing both personal opportunity cost and a broader loss in economic productivity. This gap inspired Deborah Birungi to formalise the campus cash skills programme, a structured initiative targeting senior six leavers with practical, income-generating skills.
