The wise men say, the journey of a thousand miles starts with one step and true to this old adage Recours Four Kenya (R4K) has come along way as a living testimony to this.
To most youth their dream is that once they get that white collar job they would wish to be their own bosses. But hey the storyline is not always a smooth path, challenges are always there but they present real opportunities in disguise and as stated by the R4K boss Miss Gloria Michelle before you judge or criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoe!
First, the company started off by successfully hosting its first Youth convention on April where they had several guests including; Shappaman Kanema from Camp Mulla, Charles Mwakio, the Director of Rotaract club of Nairobi, Mike Mina, Chair of United Nation (U.N) simulation exercises and George Saltai a youth farmer and Entrepreneur.
Next R4K hosted a motivational interview training program held in Langata in May where there were speakers like Tom Lee Msongo, a Reseacher, John Kennedy a panel recruiter at SGS and Mr. John Mudany, the Director of Finance from KENGEN. A similar interview training was held at the same venue in the month of June where it was officiated by Ms. Pennie Warren, a Business Coach and a Human Resource Specialist in Africa, also in her company was Mr. Stewart Kinloch, the Managing Director of Dalriada Consultants and finally Mr. Donald Ouko the General Manager of IMC Media Group and also one of the R4Kenya candidates who secured his current job through R4K.
Apart from the several career fairs that R4K participated in and those it will be participating in the near future, the company was also nominated for a Work Life Balance Award by the Catholic University of Italy, which according to Ms. Michele this has been the highlight of the company as she says she appreciates the recognition for the award bearing in mind it’s the first award the company has been nominated for.
The company also brags of having successfully created, designed and developed a creative brand Curriculum Vitae for the American based Kenyan musician Stella Mwangi (S.T.L). This according to the C.E.O was way steps ahead as the international Kenyan musician would go along way in branding the company and giving it the desired publicity that it needs.
Similarly the company is well branded in the social media with the use of Face book as their major platform to connect to its potential clients and to reach out to the youth who need empowerment. As a matter of fact the company has majored on social media since according to Ms. Gloria there is huge potential in the social media since everybody gets connected there. Other social media sites include Linked In and Twitter.
NICE !!!
