At least 1,200 youth in Kiambu County underwent a short course on a skills training programme to enhance their employability and self-reliance to cope with the dynamic challenges of the Kenyan job market.
The graduation ceremony, held at Ndumberi Stadium over the weekend, marked the successful completion of various short courses facilitated through a collaboration between the International Youth Fellowship (IYF) - Kiambu Chapter and the Kiambu County Government's Department of Youth Affairs.
Speaking during the event, Chief Officer for Youth Affairs, Sports and Communication Godfrey Masolo, who was the guest of honour, commended the initiative for its role in equipping youth with practical and marketable skills. "This programme is an example of how partnerships can yield impactful results.
Our youth are now more empowered and prepared to contribute meaningfully to society, either through employment or entrepreneurship," said Masolo.
