At Moja Tu, we believe that education is only the beginning of a young person’s journey. While graduating from school is a major milestone, the transition into the job market often presents challenges that academic qualifications alone cannot solve. Recognizing this gap, Moja Tu developed the Alumni Outreach Program, designed to equip both final-year students and graduates with the practical tools, confidence, and networks necessary to thrive in their careers.
Caleb, Moja Tu’s Program Coordinator, explains, “The Alumni Outreach Program was created because completing school is just the start. We wanted our graduates to leave not only with academic knowledge but also with practical skills, professional confidence, and a support network that can guide them in the real world.” The program bridges the gap between education and professional life, ensuring students are prepared to navigate the challenges and expectations of the workplace.
For final-year students, the program offers comprehensive career preparation. Through mock interviews, job readiness training, and internship placements, students gain practical exposure that complements their academic learning. They also receive guidance on CV building, communication skills, and professional conduct, giving them a competitive edge as they enter the workforce. “By the time they graduate, students are not just academically qualified—they’re ready to meet the demands of the professional world,” Caleb emphasizes.
The Alumni Outreach Program also supports graduates already in the workforce. Alumni become part of a lifelong network of peers and mentors, with access to continuous learning, professional connections, and opportunities to give back by mentoring current students. Through partnerships with organizations, schools, and companies, alumni can connect with internships, jobs, and professional development opportunities, strengthening their careers while contributing to a cycle of growth within the Moja Tu community.
So far, 14 alumni have secured jobs and internships through the program, while others have gained new skills that enabled them to start their own businesses, turning their education into entrepreneurial opportunities.
Skills development is a central focus of the program. Students and alumni receive training in both technical and soft skills, ranging from computer literacy, business knowledge, and sector-specific expertise to leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, and communication. Alumni are encouraged to explore skills beyond their academic fields, creating multiple pathways for personal and professional growth.
The impact of the program is evident in the success stories of Moja Tu alumni. Many who participated in mentorship and internship opportunities have gone on to secure positions in respected schools, organizations, and companies. They return to inspire and guide current students, sharing their own journeys and encouraging the next generation to reach their full potential. “These success stories reflect the true spirit of the program, transforming education into opportunity,” Caleb notes.
Looking ahead, the vision for the Alumni Outreach Program is ambitious and inspiring. Caleb shares, “We aim to create a sustainable ecosystem where students and alumni continuously learn from one another. Our goal is to expand the program into a hub of innovation, mentorship, and professional development, ensuring every Moja Tu student and alum feels equipped to thrive, no matter where their journey takes them.”
Through the Alumni Outreach Program, Moja Tu is proving that education is more than grades; it’s about building confidence, cultivating skills, and opening doors to opportunity. By empowering students and alumni alike, the program transforms lives, strengthens communities, and creates a cycle of success that extends far beyond the classroom.
