KUCCPS Director for Placement Coordination and Career Development Prof. John Oluoch and officers from the Placement Service today engaged with students at Kibabii University, Bungoma County, during the ongoing National Music Festival. Prof. Oluoch explained the role of KUCCPS in learners’ transition to higher education, highlighting the range of institutions that students can join through KUCCPS placement process. KUCCPS utilises the festival as a platform to promote its mandate and disseminate career guidance messages.

Messages on the mandate of KUCCPS, higher education opportunities and career pathways are expected to feature as schools present their winning pieces at the 98th Edition of the Kenya Music Festival.
The 2026 edition is ongoing at Kibabii University in Bungoma County, from 1st to 14th August. Once again, KUCCPS has sponsored various categories of the competition, to highlight the importance of career guidance and centralised placement of students to universities and colleges.

This morning, KUCCPS Chief Executive Officer Dr. Agnes Mercy Wahome and Kenya Utalii College Principal and CEO Mr. Mark Ogendi attended a multisectoral meeting with Kilifi County officials and other stakeholders ahead of opening of the new Ronald Ngala Utalii College in the county.

The college is expected to admit its first cohort of trainees in September 2026. KUCCPS will undertake on-site placement of students to the campus for the intake, with a target to admit 1,000 students in Tourism and Hospitality courses.

Establishment of the new college is a milestone towards enhancing access to tourism and hospitality training and supporting skills development for the tourism sector.

Over the past week, KUCCPS has conducted career sensitisation forums in Bungoma County, in collaboration with Bungoma County Directorate of Education. The activities were held across six sub-counties of Tongaren, Bungoma North, Bungoma East, Mt. Elgon, Kopsiro, and Cheptais, reaching over 120 teachers, 2,200 secondary school students (Form 3 & 4) and 1,600 junior school learners.

The sessions covered career planning and selection, student placement, Competency-Based Education (CBE), and the use of the KUCCPS Career Expert System, an online tool for matching learners to possible career paths.

A huge thank you to school principals, teachers, and Bungoma County Government for their collaboration in the initiative.
