8,600 Youth Trained in Employability and Soft Skills
In collaboration with our partner StepWise, our work has equipped over 8,000 youth with digital skills, soft skills, online work, digital marketing, and basic financial management skills. Training was delivered as part of the Ajira Digital program, in collaboration with the Kenya Private Sector Alliance, under the auspices of the Ministry of Information, Communication and Technology, with funding from The Rockefeller Foundation. In addition, over 500 youth have been trained in transcription. We look for talent, motivation, and drive and we know how to find it. We use aptitude testing and motivational interviews to identify youth with skills and attributes for success. Half of our staff are young women; about 10% are youth with disabilities.
