What an incredible start! Today, the University of Embu team had the privilege of engaging students from: Nginda Girls High School, Kenyoho Secondary School, Peter Kariuki Secondary School and Kariguini Secondary School.

Through career guidance sessions, mentorship conversations, and interactions at our exhibition tent, we empowered learners with valuable insights on career pathways, university education, and the skills needed to thrive in a dynamic world.

We appreciate the enthusiasm, curiosity, and ambition demonstrated by the students as they explored opportunities available to them after secondary school.

As we continue with Day Two, we remain committed to helping young people make informed academic and career choices. Thank you, Murang'a County, for the warm reception. We look forward to engaging even more students tomorrow.
