Checklist: 10 essential skills for young people starting their first job in Kenya
Getting your first job in Kenya is no small thing. Youth unemployment sits at over 67% (yes, that number is real), which means landing that role took effort, luck, or both. The formal sector is growing, but it is also more competitive than ever, and the gap between getting hired and actually thriving at work is wider than most people expect.

The Importance of Partnerships
We will continue to identify and develop partnerships that unlock new resources for rural children, particularly girl education and youth empowerment.

Initiatives will be carefully introduced with mutually beneficial program acceleration, embedding innovation, and minimizing risk.
Our focus will include partnerships:
Linking our youth to investment capital for their business enterprise growth
Cultivating national, pan-Africa and international fellowship opportunities
Amplifying our youth’s opportunities through alumni networks
Connecting rural communities with resources and innovations for social enterprises
Leveraging best practices with advocacy and policy groups who create change within the government structures
Resource Mobilization and Funding Partners
Our partners place their trust in our organization’s vision, our program delivery, and a common belief that education and skills can and will positively impact the world.
