Speaking during the meeting, Dr. Oluoch reported that KMTC was keen on collaborating with the financial institution to enhance teaching and learning, in addition to creating an enabling environment that motivates staff to give their best.
“We will seek to establish a partnership that is mutually beneficial to the two organizations as we explore potential collaborations in areas of training, clinical placement, attachment and internships for our students, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives and financial aid for our needy students,” Dr. Oluoch said.
