Am a student at UoN doing a bachelor of Economics.Wanted advice from you guys on which are the best papers to serve me well and upgrade my CV.Been thinkig about CPA,ICDL,a Diploma in Business MAnagement by the next four years before i go out to the job market.Am i on the right track.YOur advice will be deeply appreciated.

Wanakenya wenzangu, papers are good but do we ever consider adding the knowledge too? Ama ni makaratasi tu?

If you are doing B.A Economics, please make sure you at least do Accounting. What I know is that most economists are currently working in Finance jobs. And in Kenya there are no clear job tailor made for economists, only at the Min. of Planning and Central Bank. To work in Research firms like KIPPRA and IPAR you at least need a Masters in Econs or PhD. Therefore, your chances are abit limited. But you can work in commercial banks, and it will be a plus if you have accounting background. Do CPA or ACCA and you will never be wrong, and its better if you start while you are student. Also you can do your analysis, check newspapers Nation or Standard and see the most advertised jobs.
Hope I have not confused you.

Do cpa or ccp or both.the only diff wit the two is 5 subjects.the best thing with crdt mgt is if u somea kscm, that director wil huk u up na jobo.

dolas- It all depends on what u wd be interested in doing for a career- diversification of your qualifications may be good but u also need to be focussed in pursuing those qualifications.

If u have interest in accountancy, I would prefer that u pursue ACCA instead of CPA. Accountancy is still a marketable professionally globally but there are currently too many CPAs in Kenya. ACCA is more expensive than CPA but if u can afford, it may pay off and gives u more flexibility of taking up international openings
