Who’s to blame for the half- baked graduates?

An article that was published in the Daily Nation last Tuesday, in the Smart Company pullout, was titled, ‘Who’s to blame for the half- baked graduates? Some readers offered these suggestions:

Guru Mwangi- If intellectual hunger means an absentee lecturer dishing out handouts, then what is the essence of coming to campus? We should stay at home; the lecturers to send us the handouts and we (students) read on our own. Intellectual hunger comes about because one feels inspired to be part of that team that advances knowledge but who is there to inspire the undergraduates? Majority of students in campus really try to achieve excellence but without proper guidance, they can only go so far. Many times it is not lecturers but largely the university administrations with their 'analogue' bureaucracy are to blame for half baked graduates. Students are not receiving value for their money which is hardly a surprise: the university administrations are busy searching for property to acquire to expand the reach of education to all.

True research is an exception rather than the rule. Half-baked graduates are a result of a systemic rot. It does not however mean that all students are guided by vision and determination. On the contrary, we have university students who have absolutely no sense of academic direction. But like I said, the university

Five Career Advices for BCOM and Arts students.

Students in science, medical, and engineering courses usually like to make fun of students doing Bachelor of Commerce- BCOM, and the Arts related courses. Sometimes, Arts students can take this literally, and feel that their course is not marketable enough. However, if you are pursing any of the so called Arts and Business related courses, here are five career advices that should cheer you up.

1. All courses are flooded.

Currently, there is no course in Kenya that isn’t flooded, unless you are training to be an undersea cable welder or some other strange profession. Even medical and engineering students these days stay for months- even years on end without jobs. So, take heart and embark on doing things that will make you stand out, not spending your energies pondering on how you will change your course to a more marketable one.

2. BCOM and Arts courses are still the most marketable courses.

Turn to any newspaper job ads section, or a jobs website. Chances are high that 80 percent of the jobs advertised are still within the Business, and the Arts courses. Sure, one could counter argue that there are also thousands of students within these professions, but that is besides the point. The fact is that there are job

Why the Bachelors degree is the new minimum requirement for getting a job.

The bachelors degree is becoming the new college diploma: the new minimum requirement, albeit an expensive one, for getting even the lowest-level job.
Many Kenyan employers nowadays hire only people with a bachelor’s degree, even for jobs that do not require university-level skills.

This prerequisite applies to everyone, including the receptionist, administrative assistants and file clerks. Even the office “runner” — the in-house courier who, for some little cash per day, ferries documents back and forth between the departments in the office — went to a university.
Across industries, many other jobs that didn’t used to require a degree — positions like drivers, secretaries, admin assistants, receptionists — are increasingly requiring one.
This up-credentialing is pushing the less educated even further down the food chain, and it helps explain why the unemployment rate for workers with no more than a college certificate or diploma is higher than that for workers with a bachelor’s degree:

Some jobs, like those in supply chain management and logistics, have become more technical, and so require more advanced skills today than they did in the past. But more broadly, because so many people are

The Top Five Career Regrets

Daniel Gulati, co-author of ‘Passion &Purpose: Stories from the Best and Brightest Young Business Leaders’ asks a simple question. What do you regret most about your career? What would you do differently if you had the chance to magically rewind your career?
Here were the top five career regrets he identifies on most professional’s mind:

1. I wish I hadn't taken the job for the money. By far the biggest regret of all came from those who opted into high-paying but ultimately dissatisfying careers. Classic research proves that compensation- or salary, is a not a true motivator. What is surprising, though, are the feelings of helplessness these individuals face. Lamented one banker, "I dream of quitting every day, but I have too many commitments." Another consultant said, "I'd love to leave the stress behind, but I don't think I'd be good at anything else."

2. I wish I had quit earlier. Almost uniformly, those who had actually quit their jobs to pursue their passions wished they had done so earlier. "Those years could have been spent working on problems that mattered to

Meet 19 year old Alfred Kibiwott Munge- Kenya’s youngest County Ward Rep.

Alfred Kibiwott Munge passes out as any other ordinary teenager on the streets.
However, the 19-year-old made history by being elected the youngest member of county assembly in the just concluded elections.

Munge, who cleared Form Four in 2011, is soft spoken. His answers to questions are terse. But despite this, Munge was able to convince over 3,000 residents who voted for him to be the first member of County Assembly for Perkerra Lembus ward in Koibatek town, Baringo town.

“He is different when he stands in front of a crowd,” says his close friend Trevor Rerimoi.
Indeed, Munge was able to address rallies in the area to get votes.
“I held rallies across the ward to woo voters,” he said.
His oratical skills in front of a crowd are wonderful. He employs humour and wit which leaves his listeners in stitches as they break in laughter and wild cheers.

“Tumia muda mfupi kipigia kura kijana mfupi jumatatu (use the shortest time possible to vote for the shortest candidate),” said Munge to a crowd while seeking for votes at Kabimoi.
His election is seen by many as a revolution where the young generation is taking up the mantle of leadership. Munge was contesting against Musa Ng’etich, 48, Paul Serem, 38, and Desmond Boit, 30.

“This is breaking from the old Kalenjin myths and legends that young men should not lead. It is now about issues and who can deliver. With this trend, economic and social change is coming from Perkera Lembus

Meet Kenya’s youngest MP- Kinoti Gatobu.

Buuri MP- Honourable Kinoti Gatobu’s story is extraordinarily inspiring. Without paid employment he has, at 26 years, become Kenya’s youngest MP.  Although a top student and achiever in whatever he has tried, he chose to be a modern day missionary in his Buuri constituency- a constituency in the Upper Eastern region. He has been a volunteer teacher in local primary and secondary schools.

He has raised thousands of books for more than 60 primary schools, which have benefitted thousands of pupils. He has started village ICT training centres for many who had never seen a computer.
This young man has achieved more than any Kenyan politician has done at this tender age despite his very humble background. His grandfather was a squatter. His father, Moses Gatobu, a secondary school teacher, went to a simple high school (Miathene) in Meru; and his mother, Agnes Kinya Gatobu, joined a diploma teacher training college after giving birth to Kinoti, leaving him in the care of his Aunt, Gladys Njiiru.
He is everything you like to see in a leader; youthful, humble, selfless, determined, pro-people, visionary. He is true testimony to the youth and those not endowed with money, that it is possible to make it as a politician; he will inspire many to go for political office.

Many thanks to the voters of Buuri and his hard working campaign committee for appreciating him as the great blessing that he is to them, Meru and Kenya. Thanks also to those media houses that told his

5 Ways to Find the Right Career.

For many professionals, it reaches a time in their lives when they feel they are no longer moving in their careers. It becomes dreary to wake up in the morning and go to the same desk or factory floor. So, here’s how you can revitalize a career which is headed downhill.

1. Research the future of your Profession.
The first and perhaps most important step that all workers should take right now is to begin researching trends in their industry.
"Many employees don't realize that industry downsizing will affect their jobs until it's too late. But in this Kenyan economy, you should be on the lookout for telltale signs,". "One key question to ask yourself is if there have been major layoffs or consolidations in companies similar to yours."
Not only is this a good way to forecast your job security, it could give you clues about the next big thing in your industry or a related profession so you can begin searching for opportunities there.

2. Focus on Your Skill, Not Your Industry
If you find out your industry is in trouble, it doesn't mean you need to spend a lot of money going back to school. Instead, focus on what you are particularly good at and see where you can apply the skills you have already learned.
"The people who do best in a difficult workforce are the most flexible, so focus on where you're flexible. Even if you are in a dying field, you can use certain skills within the dying profession to apply for jobs in other

2013 Deloitte Graduate Recruitment Programme- Tips to get hired

 Saturday, 23 March 2013

This is an extract from an interview between Deloitte and Capital FM, on the upcoming 2013 Deloitte Graduate Recruitment Programme.

Corporate Kenya has become very competitive. The search for talent starts at the University level with exceptional students securing internships and jobs before they graduate. One of the ‘big four’ accountancy firms in the region is now engaging students on social media to nurture a rapport and create communication lines with students.

Deloitte EA, which will soon be launching it’s annual graduates’ recruitment programme, asserts that there is much potential in social media as a medium for recruitment.

An interview with two of Deloitte’s partners; Doreen Mbogho (Financial Advisory Partner who is also in charge of talent) and Anne Muraya (Audit Partner) gives more insight to this trend as they talk about the Deloitte Graduate recruitment programme.

What led to the choice of social media campaign as opposed to conventional methods?
ANNE: Social media presents a unique platform to engage fresh graduates as they are already active on

5 Questions that Job Seekers Should Always Ask- But Can't.
