Career Guidance Unit

"Creating connections from campus to community"
The vision of the Career Guidance Unit (CGU) of the UOK is to become a centre of excellence in ensuring the employability of all the graduates who complete their studies at the university. The CGU is committed to ensure that students are prepared for careers by empowering them with professional attributes necessary to hold their own on national and international platforms and contribute positively to the development of the country. At the CGU, students are made aware of employment opportunities available in the country, course units at the university that they should follow to upgrade their knowledge and skills, extra-curricular activities they should be engaged in and other essential skills they should gain in order to face the world of work as a successful graduate. The above is achieved through annual career fairs, industry partnership programs, entrepreneurship programs, faculty-wise career development programs, communication skills development programs, personality development programs and academic development programs. In addition, the CGU is the ideal platform for links to be created between undergraduates and the private and public sectors.
