The Kenya Utalii College is in talks with two hotels in Mombasa and Kisumu to offer on-the-job training to its students. 

Principal and Chief Executive Hashim Mohamed (pictured) said the college is in talks with the Sunset Hotel in Kisumu and the Mombasa Beach Hotel to allow its students to train at their facilities. “This will increase our capacity and thus not only strengthen the hospitality industry in the country but also in the region and continent,” said Mohamed in an interview.
