Time: 9.00am-1 pm Venue: BSCC Room 14
The department of Community Resource Management held an Alumni Workshop on 27th of March 2024 at BSCC. The event promises to be an engaging and informative experience, and we believe your participation will add significant value to the discussions and activities. The workshop aimed to enable the CRM alumni already in the market to mentor the current students in readiness for the world of work. The key themes for the workshop are: How to create rapport with industry for job opportunities and Career development prospects for CRM students. The interaction helped the current students to gain valuable insights and practical knowledge on how to navigate the world of work and network for opportunities.
The lead Alumni Guest Speakers were Martin W. Irungu, Executive Director, Empower and Serve Kenya and Mary Wanjiru Youth Advocate with Action Aid Kenya.
The workshop was attended by the Dean School of Business Tourism and Economics Dr. Perez Onono, chair of Department and faculty CRM. Also in attendance were the former CRM alumni currently engaged in different fields and third- and fourth-year students. The event helped to foster collaboration, networking, and skill development.
