The government has intensified efforts to equip young Kenyans with digital skills and global competencies, positioning digital literacy as a key pillar in addressing unemployment and preparing the country's youthful population for opportunities in the international job market.
Speaking during the launch of the Great Lakes University of Kisumu (GLUK) Regional Language and Cultural Centre at the university's main campus in Kibos, Principal Secretary for Labour and Skills Development Shadrack Mwadime said partnerships between government, universities and the private sector are critical in ensuring young people acquire skills that match the changing demands of the modern workplace.
The centre, established through a partnership involving Great Lakes University of Kisumu, Samsung, Valitz and Starlink, will offer digital learning programmes and foreign language training aimed at enhancing the employability of young people both locally and internationally.
