Questions before you apply
Jobs, mobile money, professional support and our job-or-full-refund promise.
What is the job-or-full-refund promise?
If SkillBridge Uganda cannot provide the suitable job covered by your application, the full application fee is refundable. Employer details, suitability and available places are confirmed by the team during placement support. A payment does not create an employment contract.
What does the application fee cover?
The displayed one-time fee covers application review, placement support and connection to the relevant local job. Saving an application is free. Mobile-money transfer charges are separate. Review the job-or-full-refund terms before paying.
How do I apply?
Choose a job and tap View job. Create your free phone-and-password account, add your practical skills, then follow the payment instructions. Send the displayed fee only to Airtel Money 0732107296, SIMON MADUMA. Tap I have paid to upload your screenshot and transaction details. After team verification, tap Open my chat and messages.
How do I know whether a place is available?
The team confirms employer availability during placement support. Where a remaining opening count is supplied, it appears on the job. We do not invent vacancy counts. If we cannot provide the suitable job covered by your application, the full application fee is refundable.
Can I pay using MTN or Airtel?
Use your MTN or Airtel mobile-money service to send the displayed application fee to Airtel Money 0732107296. Check the recipient name is SIMON MADUMA, our designated payment agent. Your operator may charge a transfer fee. This website does not collect your PIN or offer card payments.
When can I talk to the team?
After our team verifies your payment, tap Open my chat and messages in My applications or I already paid. Read our messages and reply with text. The team can send text or voice notes; applicants reply with text. We respond when available.
How does base pay plus labour pay work?
For construction, electrical/plumbing, carpentry/metalwork, vehicle repair and repair/maintenance roles, the listed amount is base monthly pay, including months without assigned project work. Additional labour pay is agreed separately for actual jobs and added to the base amount. Confirm the work agreement before accepting a role.
Do I need a CV or a degree?
You can apply with your name and a short description of your relevant practical skills. There is no CV or cover-letter upload. Any genuine role-specific licence or certification will be stated on the job when supplied by the employer.
How can I request a refund?
Open your verified application and choose Request a refund, then explain what happened. If we cannot provide the suitable job covered by your application, the full application fee is refundable. The administrator records the decision and independently checks the outgoing refund transaction before marking it completed.
What if my receipt is pending or I paid twice?
Keep your transaction ID and original receipt. Do not pay again while verification is pending. Open My applications to check the status. If a receipt needs correction, read the team’s note and correct the original submission. A verified application shows an Open my chat and messages button.
Who can see my application and messages?
Your application, receipt images and support conversation are private to you and the authenticated SkillBridge Uganda administrator. Other applicants cannot access them. Never send your PIN, password or recovery code in a chat.
Where are these jobs based?
The catalogue is for local Ugandan roles. The team provides the employer, precise location and work arrangements during placement support. Read the published role details and ask about the location in your private conversation before accepting an offered job.
Does my screenshot automatically confirm payment?
No. Images can be edited. We check transaction IDs for reuse and keep receipt claims separate from verified payments. Wait for team verification after uploading your receipt. Your support conversation opens only once the receiving Airtel wallet transaction is confirmed.
Why does the Airtel payment show SIMON MADUMA?
SIMON MADUMA is the designated SkillBridge Uganda payment agent receiving application fees on Airtel Money number 0732107296. Check both the name and number before sending. Do not pay another number or send your PIN to anyone.
What if I forget my account password?
Use Forgot your password on the account page and enter the private recovery code issued when you registered. Keep it safe. Resetting your password signs out old sessions and issues a new recovery code. We do not ask for your mobile-money PIN.
