Put your degree aside and build your future

It is high time graduates wake up from their comfort zone and work for the betterment of their future. The story of Kelvin Ochieng, a first Class Honors graduate brought up serious discussions on the state of thousands of unemployed graduates in our country, and despite the fact that Jubilee government promised students the establishment of an apprenticeship program of up to 12 months, nothing has been done up to now.

The fact you've graduated doesn't guarantee you a job opportunity. Whether you graduated with first-class honors, second class, pass or credit doesn't mean you'll secure yourself a job right after graduation. Most of these companies are looking for experienced workers, something that we weren't taught in class, and it will be difficult for a fresh graduate to land on a job right after graduation.
