Jacob Kibet Cheres dropped his ambition of pursuing engineering course after completing his Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) in 1995 and embarked on a journey of self-employment. Years later, he has no regrets for making the decision.
“I had enrolled for agricultural engineering courses at a local polytechnic with the intension of pursuing further studies but I changed my mind when I went to University of Eastern Africa, Baraton for practical (farming) sessions. It is then I realised that I could utilise the acquired skills to start my own agricultural business,” says Mr Kibet, 36 from Mosoriot, Nandi County.
