The demand for technical jobs in Kenya is increasing but supply is low leading to firms opting to import labour, Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani on Friday said. The Labour CS said the demand for expertise in refrigeration, electrical, plumping, masonry, among other technical jobs is very high that the country cannot provide the required supply. Nita has been training students in technical areas such as refrigeration, plumbing, electrical engineering, masonry among other units. Yatani appealed to county governments and industries to allocate more funds for training of their staff in the technical areas. Allocating budgets for technical training will also improve the chances of employment of the youth in counties.
