Jackline Wawira MuchangiMentor, Care Coordinators’ Mentorship“Joining BGHUB whether as a mentor or mentee will propel you towards your career aspirations.”
I was working as a unit coordinator at a leading healthcare institution. My career has
since progressed and I am now a medical staff coordinator. Mentoring care coordinators made me
more knowledgeable in my own field, health services management, and the interaction with my
mentees pushed me to learn more and grow.
My income is considerably higher than before.
What I would like improved: more marketing of BGHUB.
Samuel M.Trainee, BG Learning Hub“The full cost was about 12k, which I would never have afforded. They agreed that a 2k deposit was enough to start, and we paid off the rest.”
I had just graduated and I was at home helping my parents sell in the market when a coursemate told me about the care coordination programme. I am now a client relations officer, posted to the Nairobi County Cancer Centre, an annex of Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital — the first facility my group was attached to for training.
My income is somewhat higher than before.
What I would like improved: the teaching methods, so that whatever is taught is understood well enough to be passed on to someone else.
Mark N.Intern, care coordination and research“Come ready to learn and BGHUB will give you real time experience, not just theory. Be open to feedback, ask questions and take your tasks seriously.”
I was a health services management student. I had the theory of healthcare management but no hands-on exposure. I am now on a mentorship covering care coordination and research assistance, and I am building practical experience in service delivery, hospital operations and research.
What I would like improved: clearer guidance on the expected practical outcomes for each rotation.
Emmanuel K.Intern, research and care coordination“I have gained a lot of skills and competence, and direction in my career.”
I am in my final year of a health service management degree at Kenyatta University, and I am now studying at both the university and BGHUB Kenya. I came looking for something useful to do alongside my course, and I was recommended to the hub.
What I would like improved: attached mentorship, and continuous learning and training for tailored internship programmes.
John O.Alumnus, research and data collection“More skills and knowledge are acquired there, as the hub offers multiple courses in different job areas.”
I was a student at Machakos University when the company director announced an intake at an event. I have since been promoted to brand manager, and I have skills that cut across several industries.
My income is considerably higher than before.
What I would like improved: reduce the probation duration.
Isaac M.Alumnus, technical support and research“Join to gain more experience — you are trained as you practise.”
I was a sales agent for credit companies and a customer accounts manager. I am now technical support for BGHUB Kenya and a software developer. I have coding and administrative skills, and research and data collection experience from several projects.
My income is considerably higher than before.
What I would like improved: bring in more programmes for career enhancement.
