“Programmes such as Generation Kenya will help boost (small enterprises) by providing the necessary skill set as SMEs are the biggest employers for the youth. The Government is working hard to continue to create the right environment to nurture such talents,” said Mr Munya. The programme works closely with the Government and institutions in Technical and Vocational Education and Trainings to equip youth with employability skills. Since 2015, Generation Kenya has placed 84 per cent of the 13,000 graduates into meaningful employment through a network of more than 350 employer partners across Kenya. Generation Kenya has grown from one training location in Nairobi in 2015 to 33 across 20 counties.
