Empowering Students for the Future of Work 🎓
At Summit Recruitment & Search Africa, we believe that meaningful impact starts with sharing knowledge and empowering others. As part of our ongoing efforts to support career development in Kenya, our Senior Recruitment Consultant, Phelestus Auma, recently visited the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA) for a career talk with students preparing to enter the job market.
The session brought together ambitious young minds eager to learn about life after university, from how to craft a strong CV to how to present themselves confidently in interviews. Drawing from her extensive experience in recruitment and talent management, Phelestus Auma shared practical tips, honest advice, and real-world insights about what employers look for in today’s evolving workplace.
As a seasoned professional at a leading recruitment agency in Kenya and trusted executive search firm, Phelestus emphasized the importance of adaptability, curiosity, and continuous learning — traits that define successful professionals in any industry. Her approach was both inspiring and relatable, helping students see that career growth isn’t just about getting a job, but about building purpose and direction along the way.
What stood out most was the energy in the room , thoughtful questions, meaningful conversations, and genuine excitement from students eager to take their next steps. It was a reminder that Kenya’s future workforce is bright, driven, and full of potential waiting to be unlocked. Moments like these show just how powerful guidance and mentorship can be — when experience meets ambition, real transformation happens. Seeing students connect ideas to their own goals and walk away more confident about their career paths made the entire session truly rewarding.
At Summit Recruitment & Search Africa, our commitment goes far beyond connecting candidates to jobs. As one of the top recruitment companies and among the best recruitment companies in Kenya, we’re passionate about creating meaningful impact through initiatives that empower people and strengthen communities. Engaging directly with students allows us to play an active role in bridging the gap between learning and opportunity, helping shape a future workforce that’s confident, capable, and ready to drive change.
