KMTC Strengthens Efforts to Link Graduates with Opportunities in Canada

Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, hosted a Canadian delegation to explore a partnership to create employment opportunities for its graduates through the Health Care Assistant programme.

The visit, coordinated through the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, marks the delegation’s second engagement with the College as discussions continue on aligning processes to prepare KMTC graduates for the international labour market.

Representing the CEO, Director, Finance, Planning, and Administration, Ms. Lucy Chebungei, welcomed the delegation and reaffirmed the College’s commitment to strengthening global collaborations.

“KMTC remains a key contributor to the healthcare workforce both locally and globally, producing competent professionals who serve in diverse health systems across the world,” said Ms. Chebungei.
She added that the proposed partnership comes at a timely moment, following the recent graduation of more than 22,000 KMTC students who are ready to support healthcare systems in Kenya and abroad.

“Our graduates are well trained and ready to offer their services and strengthen healthcare delivery both locally and internationally,” she said.

Speaking during the visit, the head of the delegation, Lara Dyer, said the team was assessing whether the Health Care Assistant curriculum offered at KMTC aligns with Canadian standards.

“Our mission is to determine whether the Health Care Assistant curriculum meets Canadian requirements to ensure that graduates transitioning to Canada are well prepared and able to integrate seamlessly into the healthcare system,” Dyer said.

The engagement comes in the wake of the College's renewed efforts to expand international partnerships that not only enhance training but also open employment pathways for its graduates in the global health workforce.

The College is currently rolling out a one-year Health Care Assistant course designed to prepare trainees to provide hands-on support to patients and clients in a variety of care settings, including hospitals, homes, and other healthcare institutions.

The programme equips learners with practical skills to assist in basic patient care, promote comfort, and support the work of healthcare professionals.
