Abstract

Failure to take up career counselling services among university students continues to be a concern for learning institutions and policy makers. The concern has been marked by policy interventions aimed at ensuring graduates access career information. In Kenya, universities have developed policies and programmes that encourage uptake of career counselling services. Despite these attempts, there has been minimal uptake of the services among students. The purpose of the study was to assess the level of uptake of career counselling services in Kenyan universities. The target population was fourth-year undergraduate students. A stratified simple random sampling method was used. Standardized instruments were used to collect data. Data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics and presented using tables. Quantitative data was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences, version 24. The level of uptake of career counselling services was low. The study recommended clear policies and guidelines that would reinforce career counselling programmes in universities in Nairobi City County.
