The Finlays Community Trust, under Browns Plantations Kenya, has awarded Sh8.7 million Vocational Education and Training (TVET) scholarships to 40 students drawn from Kericho and Bomet counties.
This is a public-private initiative, aimed at boosting youth employability and addressing rural unemployment.
The beneficiaries, comprised of 20 from each of the counties, will pursue specialised training in trades such as electrical installation, plumbing, masonry, garment making, welding and ICT at Belgut and Konoin Technical Training Institutes, with each trainee receiving a start-up toolkit worth Sh50,000 upon graduation to support self-employment or immediate entry into the job market.
