The government has announced that 5,931 Kenyans have secured job opportunities abroad since its national recruitment exercise launched ten days ago.
Labour and Social Protection Cabinet Secretary Dr. Alfred Mutua said the initiative aims to link skilled Kenyans with overseas employment opportunities, addressing local unemployment challenges.
Speaking at the Nyandarua, Dr. Mutua highlighted the program’s success, revealing the number of recruits from six counties so far: Machakos (752), Makueni (410), Kitui (901), Nakuru (2,516), Baringo (640), and Nyandarua (925).
“The overwhelming response and success of this exercise demonstrate the commitment of our government to empower Kenyans through labour migration. These job offers will not only transform individual lives but also boost remittances to the country.”
He urged Kenyan youth to embrace technical training in the many Institutions across the country, saying many employers are looking for people with technical knowledge.
