Paradigm Shifts: IDIA College Inspires Broad Career Horizons at Mbagathi View Senior School

Monday, July 6, 2026 - IDIA College of Health & Development Studies facilitated a powerful, high-impact career mentorship seminar at Mbagathi View Senior School.

The session reached 21 ambitious senior students from the Form 3 and Form 4 cohorts. The seminar was designed to break conventional career boundaries and challenge students to look broadly at opportunities across all global industries.

Decoding Professional Aptitude through Historical Lineages

Ms. Orlale challenged students to analyze their family vocations, linking it to the 12 tribes of Israel. Each tribe had a specialized role, from priests to warriors, highlighting how inherited skills can guide career choices. By understanding family patterns, students can identify their own strengths and use it to their advantage.

The Principal Bryan Tumwa equipped the upper-school candidates with a practical, three-dimensional framework to help them independently evaluate any prospective path:

1. Innate Strength: Identifying what they are genuinely good at doing.
2. Accelerated Employability: Finding viable training channels that get them working and earning quickly.
3. The Five-Year Vision: Mapping out a clear, short-term projection of exactly where they see themselves standing in the next five years.

An Honest, Boundary-Breaking Q&A Session

The IDIA College delegation handled complex student inquiries ranging from focus areas within the field of education, the structural training requirements needed to become a commercial pilot, and the dynamic career pathways available to modern healthcare practitioners.

"This was truly humbling for us—the reason why we wake up and invest in young people from all walks of life in this country."

— Julia Orlale, Communications & Marketing, IDIA College

The IDIA College team was received with exceptional warmth by the Deputy Principal and the senior teaching faculty.
