KUCCPS has listed 27 marketable diploma and certificate courses for Grade C students, focusing on high-demand fields like health, engineering, and education.

The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has thrown a lifeline to thousands of students, releasing a definitive list of 27 marketable courses tailored specifically for those who scored a Grade C and below.
For years, the Grade C bracket has been viewed as a "limbo" zone—missed university entry, but too good to waste. KUCCPS CEO Dr. Agnes Mercy Wahome has shattered this myth, unveiling a portfolio of diploma and certificate programs that are not just academic safety nets, but direct pathways to employment. The move is a major boost for learners who felt academically stranded, proving that the road to success does not always run through a university degree.
The listed courses focus heavily on technical skills, healthcare, and education—sectors where demand for hands-on professionals is stripping supply. By prioritizing these fields, the government aims to solve the skills gap crisis while reducing youth unemployment.
"We must stop obsessing over degrees," Dr. Wahome urged. "A diploma in a marketable skill is worth infinitely more than a degree in a saturated field." The 27 courses are designed to make students "market-ready" in two to three years, as opposed to the four-year university cycle.
Students are urged to log into the KUCCPS portal immediately to review the full list and align their choices with their career dreams. The message is clear: Your grade does not define your future; your skill set does.
