      Linkages
      The Department of Business Studies recognizes the importance of implementing a mentoring program to connect undergraduate students to mentors in industry. To this end, the department organizes and facilitates various mentoring programs to meet this strategic goal. The program provides students with connections to navigate their way through university into the real world of work.  The mentors, with management as well as leadership experience, come from a variety of sectors. They include private, public, and not-for-profit organizations. Towards this end, the department continues to establish and foster Industrial Linkages. For instance, the department has collaborated with KRA to set up tax clubs among the students. The clubs help the community in tax compliance issues including the filing of returns. The department has also partnered with the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) to continually sensitize students in capital market matters such as organizing capital market challenge. Furthermore, the department has also partnered with KASNEB to offer professional courses for the examinations’ body. Other Industrial Linkages include the Institute of Economic Affairs, Kenya Institute of Business Training (KIBT), Taifa SACCO and Kenya School of Government, among others. Our aim is to continue exploring ways of engaging other strategic partners who play a critical role in ensuring that our graduates cut a competitive edge in the dynamic market. Further, the Department conducts regular sensitization of business owners on best business management practices.
