President William Ruto on Friday launched a programme that will place 30,000 young Kenyans in private-sector internships, aiming to bridge the gap between education and employment.
The Next Generation Youth Employment Programme (NextGen.KE), a partnership between the government, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and other partners, will provide structured private-sector internships and skills training before expanding to reach 100,000 young people.
“Internships are not simply temporary jobs or stepping stones. They are the bridge between learning and earning, between potential and performance and between ambition and achievement,” said Ruto during the launch at State House, Nairobi.
