The agreements were signed yesterday at UoK headquarters after holding a panel discussion engaging students on the importance of leveraging development on digital financial transactions.
The partnership aligns with KCB vision to acquaint the university youth with labor market competencies and promoting the society’s welfare in general.
KCB Treasury Manager, Nicole Kazura said the bank is glad to enter the partnership with UoK to prepare for students’ future.
“We believe you (students) will take advantage of the opportunity and work hard. KCB has places for students in economics, technology among other courses. It is the beginning of the partnership but we want to see students getting more internship opportunities and jobs. This is our ambition. We want to contribute to national economic development,” she said.
The Vice Chancellor of UoK, Prof. Abraham Waithima commended KCB for the program creating room for students to immerse their skills.
KCB began operations in Rwanda in 2008. It has been active in different programs meant to promote education and protecting environment among others.
The Bank also partnered with the National Youth Council for youth scholarships to study vocational skills of who 100 were sponsored last year and 200 this year under the ‘KCB Igire Program’.
