WSIS Prizes Contest 2019 Nominee

KamiLimu


Description

KamiLimu is a 6-month structured mentorship program for Computer Science University students, whose inception was motivated by various criticisms of the computing degrees offered at Kenyan universities for failing to equip graduates with the necessary ICT skills needed by the job market. While there are many factors that affect the quality of university education, structured mentorship is one way that university computing students can adequately be prepared for global competitiveness, in addition to their classroom learning. KamiLimu aims to fill this gap.
