Nairobits Alumni Showing The Way

It has always been said that you should think outside the box. But as we discovered today, in the ICT field, it pays to think without "The box". This way your thinking, attitude and perception of concepts is not going to be limited.

No one would tell it better than two of our Alumni, Khadija Sebit and Idi Juma. Khadija Sebit graduated from Nairobits in 2006 and has since worked with two companies. Currently she is employed at KenyaWeb. Idi Juma on the other hand, graduated in 2004 and has since worked with 3Mice interactive Media where he is currently the Project manager .They were in Nairobits to give a talk to the current students on their experiences and some skills that they ought to know before they venture to the outside world.

One of the most important skill from their talk was that of setting your goals, having a purpose for whatever you do and planning for your time and future. They insisted that once you realize what your goals are, you will be in a better position to plan effectively to achieve much in life. And it all begins with one's attitude, knowing your strong points and perfecting on them while improving your weaknesses.

As much as one is going to face many challenges and changes in the near future, it is wise not to forget your where you came from. They encouraged the students to once in a while visit thier Community based Centers and also try their level best to give their families hope in change of thier living standards.

"In most occasions it calls for one to make sacrifices to be able to achieve much", Khadija said. They encouraged on team work saying that having a network of friends facilitates the sharing of ideas, growth of individuals which eventually makes work easier.
Well, what more can I say, Long live Nairobits!!
