This paper is based on findings from a study conducted among secondary school students found in Mbarara City Southwestern Uganda. Our aim is to document information about gender and career interest differences, and congruence between students’ personality and career interest during career development (15-25 years). We employed cross-sectional study design using CDM survey tool to collect data among 161 senior six students who consented to completion. Results revealed gender differences in career interest for crafts, social, and arts. Again, we established congruence between personality and career interest for arts and office practice unlike scientific, crafts, social, and business because students who selected them for first choice did not select them for second choice. These findings provide useful information to inform policy review and the need to scale up career guidance and counselling services in schools, families, and employment sectors towards achievement of human capital development in Uganda by 2030.
