In a remarkable display of international academic collaboration, CHRM College was honoured to participate in the 38th Convocation of Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) on March 6, 2025. While the main ceremony was held in New Delhi, India, CHRM College, through the Centre for Open and Distance Education (CODE), hosted a special event in Nairobi to celebrate the achievements of our Kenyan graduates.
The event underscored CHRM College’s commitment to open and distance learning, providing students with access to globally recognized academic programs that enhance career prospects in Human Resource Management, Business, Finance, and other professional fields. The convocation event at CHRM College was a momentous occasion, attended by renowned academic and industry leaders, including:
