Graduate Stories

From KUC to Career

"I graduated in 2022 and was working at Sarova within two months. The practical training at KUC — especially the teaching restaurant — meant I was ready from my first week. I'm now a team leader at 24."

AK
Anthony Kamau
F&B Team Leader · Sarova Stanley, Nairobi
Diploma in Hospitality Management · Class of 2022

"The internship I did at Kenya Airways through KUC turned into a full-time job offer before I even graduated. The IATA certification and the real-world experience I got during my attachment made the difference."

Fatuma Ochieng
Ground Services Agent · Kenya Airways, JKIA
Diploma in Aviation · Class of 2023

"I never expected to be running my own catering business four years after graduating, but the culinary and business skills from KUC gave me the confidence and the toolkit to do it. The alumni network still supports me."
