Upcoming Events
JKUAT Career
Fair, an event that aims to bring companies and organizations together
with potential employees; students at the University’s Main Campus in
Juja, is happening from the 11th to the 13th of September. The Society of
Engineering Students (SES) in conjunction with the student governing
body (JKUSO) will be inviting companies and organizations that will
cover all the courses that the university offers. The Career Day is a
day that purposes to expose organizations and companies to talented
undergraduates and to strengthen their employer branding. Over 40
recognized companies (from various specializations) will be making their
way to this event where the companies will be impacting students lives
with knowledge and still be able to market themselves (as suitable
career destinations) & their products.
Students will also get an opportunity to learn more about potential areas of employment, the various fields that one’s course exposes them to, the job and attachment requirements, and the companies’ expectations from the students.
Career Day opens up the opportunity for a company to have up-close interaction with the students, letting them know what they expect in the marketplace and give advice to students regarding issues such as what the courses actually allow them to do in the field adding on upcoming trends in the market that students should gear themselves towards.
This will make the selection of employees by companies from university graduates easier in the future as a result of the prior knowledge imparted on the students during the Career Day. This platform of interaction that the Career Day intends to create between companies and students will be an opportunity for both parties to benefit each other and in this manner, enhance university education in its entirety.

Sports
JKUAT Karen campus has many sports and games.
The Coach of the Jkuat team is Maxwell Olumbo. Don Bosco went down to Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and
Technology JKUAT 54 – 51 in a tight Nairobi Basketball Association
league match played at the Railways Sports Club over the weekend. This
was their first lost of the season.
But despite falling to the students, Steven Sassi the Don Bosco tactician said he was pleased with his side performance,
“I expected a very fast game and that is what they did. It has shown us that we are not invincible and when we head into the next game we shall be more cautious,”
JKUAT started on a high note in the 1st quarter beating Don Bosco 21 – 11 to take an early lead. But Don Bosco would elevate their play in the 2nd quarter though the students once again prevailed beating them closely by 8 points.
The 3rd quarter Don Bosco came charged and managed to prevail over their stubborn opponents with a close margin getting 12 points against JKUAT’s 9.
Despite winning the final quarter, the margin was not enough to cancel out JKUAT’s lead and Thika road side took the day.
Kijuba Guyton gave JKUAT 16 points while Michael Otieno and Dean Wamema managed 14 and 12 points respectively. Joel Atebe of Don Bosco stood out in all the matches played on Saturday scoring an impressive 27 points.
Maxwell Olumbo the JKUAT coach admitted that it was a tight match against a powerful team but said he was glad that his side maintained their clam and staged a strong defense play to win the day,
“The game was okay considering my boys just came from holiday this week and are not yet at their best, I know I have a good side worth checking.”
