Over 200,000 Kenyan youths have secured employment abroad since the government intensified efforts to connect them with job opportunities in foreign markets over the past year and a half.
This is according to Labour and Skills Development Principal Secretary (PS) Shadrack Mwadime, who spoke during a recruitment exercise at Taita Taveta National Polytechnic (TTNP) on Saturday.
Mwadime, who was overseeing the registration of youths seeking employment overseas, said the government's strategic push to create job opportunities beyond Kenya's borders has significantly reduced unemployment.
He attributed this success to the signing of bilateral labour agreements with several countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Austria, and Qatar.
