The German Government on Tuesday announced plans to collaborate with two major universities; Kenyatta University and the University of Nairobi, to teach the German language to students in Technical and Vocational Education and Training institutions (TVET) in Kenya. This is according to the German Ambassador to Kenya Sebastian Groth who stated that this move would not only motivate but also prepare Kenyan students in the technical industry looking to work in Germany in different sectors. During his most recent trip to Germany, President William Ruto announced that he had secured a whopping 250,000 jobs for Kenyans in the European nation. The deal, which aimed to streamline the immigration process of skilled and semi-skilled workers, will highly benefit from this new plan to teach German in TVET institutions to open doors for more Kenyans in the technical sector. Slated to benefit both countries, the job opportunities will help solve unemployment in Kenya as well as address the labour shortage in Germany.
