Description

Main objective of the project is to decrease youth unemployment level by improving access to education and practical experience. Special attention is dedicated to two particular objectives: 1. Increase of youth employment 2. Support of self-employment and integration of young people on the labor market Project implementation will lead to increased institutional capacity of the St. Kizito Children and will provide certified vocational training in the currently most sought areas such as carpenting, masonry, tailoring and hairdressing. It will also increase employability of the graduates, especially in the above mentioned fields while taking into consideration the current growing demand for these professions in Kenya. It will also serve as a tool for unemployment prevention by organizing motivational seminars for elementary school pupils in the region and promoting the value and importance of vocational education as a valuable alternative to the general secondary education. Direct beneficiaries of the project will be 156 students (60 boys and 96 girls are expected to graduate) of certified vocational training as well as 4,140 pupils from elementary schools. Project gradually builds on the currently implement project SAMRS/2015/KE/1/1 “Reduction of unemployment rate of young people by improved access to quality education and training of practical skills.”
