Employment opportunities for 500 youth in Kilifi

The Employment Opportunities for 500 Youth in Kilifi project continues to make impactful progress, connecting more young people to practical work experiences and employment opportunities that enhance their livelihoods and contribute to the local economy.

Recent Progress

Between March and June:

• 83 trainees were placed on industrial attachment across various sectors, gaining essential hands-on skills to strengthen their employability.
• 13 trainees are set to begin graduate trainee placements at Brollo Kenya Limited, effective 30 June 2025, providing them with structured workplace exposure and growth opportunities.
• 35 tailoring graduates have been employed at Ashton Apparel, enabling them to utilize their vocational skills immediately in a structured work environment.
• 6 graduates will commence employment at Kilimanjaro Biscuits on 30 June 2025.

 These achievements reflect our ongoing commitment to facilitating practical pathways for youth to transition successfully from training into the workforce.

In the coming months, we aim to:

• Expand graduate trainee and job placement opportunities in collaboration with industry partners.
• Increase the number of trainees accessing industrial attachments for skill enhancement.
• Strengthen pre-employment support and career readiness initiatives to prepare youth for the demands of the workplace.
