Kepler students taken through opportunities available at the labour market

The school helps bright students from Rwanda and the region to pursue Bachelor degree through existing partnership with Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) from the United States of America (USA).

The activity held recently is part of ‘Career Fair’, an annual event during which students are linked to employers and recruiters to get first-hand information on available job opportunities.

Karoli Kolokonyi, the Director of Careers and Alumni Affairs at Kepler has said that the event is meant to help students get first-hand information on available opportunities.

“We organize this career fair with the aim of helping students to get real information of what is taking place at the labour market, learn about required skills and competencies to deliver on efficiency among others. This guidance serves as a strong foundation for future career,” he said.

Apart from getting information, Kolokonyi revealed, the event paves the way for new opportunities as students network with companies seeking to recruit interns or employees.

Teta Leila, a student from Kepler has said that they delighted with the support to learn new life skills and get insight into employment process.

“The event helps me to link up with potential employers, where they might contact me during recruitment,” she said.

Teta shares the same thoughts with Pacifique Ishimwe who explained that the event prepares him for the labour market.

“I get chance to interact with different companies which provide information on needed employees and competencies. Besides, I create new connections that it becomes easier when it is time to seek full time employment or internship,” he revealed.

Lvey Moindi, an employee working with Tech Supporter highlighted that the event is a good opportunity to bring to limelight their activities and link up with potential employees who might contribute to companies’ growth.

The Career Fair held on Thursday 31st March 2022 brought together 29 companies including Tech Supporter, Harambee, DTM, One Acre Fund, AWE, IGIHE Ltd and MTN Rwanda among others.
