Motivation to Join the East Africa UAS Network

1. To gain more insight on the application based teaching and learning.
2. To enhance my teaching approach out of the realization that there seems to be a  disconnect between our University teaching and the transfer of knowledge at the workplace. Our graduates are unable to immediately fit in the industry and companies have to further train them before they can be productive at work.
3.  To  promote knowledge  transfer through proper training in a manner that prepares Business graduates for self employment and job creation rather always wait for employment opportunities. This could help reduce unemployment rates among the the youth in Kenya which currently stands at around 70%.

Relevant Insights from the UAS model

7.  An all inclusive approach to Curriculum Development.
