Background
The Office of Career Services is a critical department in the University that helps graduates to transit smoothly from learning to earning. This is achieved by developing essential competencies among graduates to groom them for the job market
The University of Nairobi is committed to producing holistic graduates who are prepared for the job market and entrepreneurial activities. It is estimated that of all the graduates who graduate from the Universities, less than 10 per cent are absorbed in the job market. It is against this background that the Ministry of Education through the State Department of Post Training and Skills Development launched the Office of Career Services (OCS) in 2018.
The goal is to increase graduates’ absorption in the job market by developing the “Future Ready Graduates”
Our Mandate
The mandate of the Office of Career Services is twofold; linking graduates to the job market and enhancing the value of graduates through skills and competencies development. This is achieved through continuous recruitment of Career Partners, Career Advisors and Student Career Ambassadors who offer support in linking graduates to the job market and assist students to acquire the relevant skills and competencies for the job market
