Industry players have underscored the need to bridge the gap between students and the job market by applying classroom learning to real-world problems.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a career fair at Zetech University, Wambui Macharia the Manager People and Talent Development, emphasized the importance of partnerships between universities and industry stakeholders to ensure students are career-ready.<\/p>\n
Her sentiments were echoed by Sophia Kihanda, Manager of Paleo Hotels, who noted how the career fair provided students with a direct platform to inquire about internships and attachments without the usual struggles.<\/p>\n
She pointed out that the hospitality industry, often associated with food services, has a significant IT component that many students may overlook.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Professor Owen Ngumi, Dean of Zetech University\u2019s School of Education, Arts, and Social Sciences, expressed concern over graduates seeking opportunities abroad.<\/p>\n
He encouraged students to explore local options and announced three new computer science programs in response to the demand for tech-savvy professionals.<\/p>\n
The week-long career fair aimed to prepare students for the competitive job market and provided a platform for students to interact freely with entrepreneurs, professionals, and educators.<\/p>\n
