Kenyan youths turn to Social media to cry for employment; list of courses with least employment chances

The desire for better a better living and a good life has pushed thousands of youths to tertiary institutions to get that certificate that is at the core of employment requirements. Little do these youths know that formal employment opportunities in this country are so scarce to satisfy the tumultuous demands. Each year universities and other higher education learning institutions churn out thousands of graduates with qualifications in Degrees, diplomas and certificate in a wide array of disciplines.

The craving for formal employment and reality of scarce job opportunities has heavily impacted on most youths. The realization that graduation does not guarantee a job has left most youths frustrated to the core. This has led to some of the graduates indulging in drug and substance abuse, if only to vent out their frustrations. At worst some have contemplated commuting suicide. Worse still some run away from home and hide in big cities; living in shanties so as to evade ridicule from locals at rural homes. This does not help either as it piles more pressure and frustrations on such youths.

The Education Cabinet Secretariat Prof George Magoha recently opened a Pandoras box on the state of unemployment in the country. He decried the high levels of unemployment among youths. Prof Magoha advised youths not to scramble for the otherwise useless degree courses and embrace training in craftsmanship.

The story of one Kelvin Ochieng’ who scored straight As at the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education, KCSE, exams and went on to get a first class honors degree in Bachelor of Science(Actuarial Science) and failed to secure employment is not only devastating but also a tip on the ice berg. Kelvin is not alone. There are many other youths out there whose efforts to secure formal employment have bore no fruits and continue to languish in poverty.

Apart from unemployment, other problems facing Kenya youths are: High cost of living, Drugs, Crime and Betting/ Gambling.

Through the hash tag ‘FirstClassBetrayal’, youths have turned to Social media to express their frustrations. The unemployed graduates have even posted their academic credentials requesting well wishers to grant them jobs. Here are some of the posts:

Available online jobs in Kenya

ICT, Innovation and Youth Affairs Cabinet Secretary Joe Mucheru has called on Kenyan youth to embrace online jobs which he said had increased due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Mucheru stated that though millions of employees globally lost their livelihoods when the Covid-19 pandemic struck, opportunities for online workers improved significantly in areas of transcription, digital marketing, virtual assistance, data entry and management and online writing. In a speech read on his behalf by the Ministry’s Chief Administrative Secretary Maureen Mbaka during the launch of Egerton University Ajira Digital Clubthe Cabinet Secretary said the government has eased access to digital opportunities in the country through the Ajira digital Programme. As the world struggles with social-economic challenges brought by Covid-19 pandemic, online workers have not been affected because their workspace is safe to conduct business and deliver services. It’s high time Kenyan youth who constitute 75 per cent of the population embraced technological changes and innovations to promote remote working as alternative employment,” the CS said.Online work is the way to go. The opportunities in the digital work space by far surpass the number of digital workers. I urge our youth to enroll in the Ajira Digital Programme so that they can benefit and make online work as an alternative employment. He indicated that the ministry in collaboration with parliamentarians has opened Ajira youth empowerment centres in all constituencies, where the youth can enroll and get trained. Mucheru also revealed that his Ministry was partnering with the judiciary to offer online transcription jobs to the youth. “We have rolled out on pilot basis online transcription jobs in law courts in Mombasa, Kisumu and Nairobi where over 700 youths are engaged. Every year we offer a chance to 400 youths to intern with the government and private sector in readiness to enter the online market Globally, many countries have invested a lot in online work and they are generating a lot of revenue in billions to their respective economies and that is our absolute goal as a country,” he added. The Ajira empowerment centres seek to impart skills on the youth to help them secure temporary online work such as software development and transcription services in a rapidly evolving global gig economy. The Ajira programme involves hiring mentors to offer training and providing free internet connectivity and work spaces through the constituency innovation hubs, largely funded by National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). Buoyed by higher internet penetration, supported by rising use of smartphones, Kenya has set sights on becoming a tech hub for Africa, providing job opportunities for its growing skilled and innovative youth. Some 320 innovation hubs were set up between July 2017 and June 2020, according to a progress report by ICT and Youth Affairs ministry. “The Ajira programme will see us instill the spirit and capabilities of innovation in our citizens, creating a more technologically vibrant generation in the next decade or so. I believe this is the route to a Kenyan ‘Silicon Valley’ of the 21st century,” he said.Mucheru said the roll out of Ajira digital clubs is intended to take place in every higher-level institution and is intended to reach more youth and expand footprints of the Ajira Digital Program across the country On her part, Mbaka stated that the government was committed to establishing more Ajira Digital Clubs in universities and Technical Vocational Education Training Institutes (TVETS) countrywide as it worked towards promoting mentorship and collaborative learning approach to finding digital work. The CAS affirmed that Ajira digital clubs were intended to act as formal structures within the various higher-learning institutions to rope in new members to the Ajira digital ecosystem where citizens get access to work readiness trainings, mentorship and visibility of job opportunities in the gig economy. “We aim to equip more Kenyan Youth with skills that will enable them to earn from digital and digitally-enabled jobs. We are delighted to formalize and fully operationalize yet another Ajira digital club to train, mentor and link youth to various online jobs and enable them to earn descent wages,” Mbaka said. She added that, “Every Ajira Digital club in each institution has an Ajira patron and Ajira club champions who will be able to organize different club activities that are tailored towards involving all the students and opening up opportunities for them to learn new skills and venture into digital work’’. Egerton University Acting Vice Chancellor Prof. Isaac Kibwage said the Ajira initiative was of critical importance to Kenya’s quest to create many jobs for youths especially from universities and TVETS. Prof. Kibwage stated that the program that targets youth in and out of formal education systems was a broader strategy to create an environment for work generation and skills development as well as incubate an entrepreneurship culture amongst the youth. “Our aim was to expose our students and graduates to the opportunities in the digital workspace. The Egerton University Ajira Digital Club is run by students, for the students and will act as additional training, incubation and mentorship forums that help equip them to access digital and digitally-enabled job opportunities,” Prof. Kibwage pointed out.

Over one million youths are set to benefit from Jitume program in the next 3-5 years from Jitume labs program being rolled out by the Government.

Speaking at Matili Training Institute in Kimilili Sub County Bungoma, Ministry of Information Communication and Digital Economy Cabinet Secretary, CS, Mr. Eliud Owalo said the government has rolled out the program that will enable youths get employment online.

He said that the program that was officially launched by President Dr. William Ruto referred as Jitume labs initiative at Kabete National Technical Polytechnic in December 2022 will complement the success of the existing digital program such as Ajira and Kenya Youth Empowerment Program.

The Cabinet Secretary noted that when President Ruto came to power in 2022, he expanded the mandate of the Ministry of ICT and assigned digital economic function to the Ministry.

“This automatically placed ICT at the core of country economic transformation agenda,” he said adding that the jitume program seeks to address issues relating to connectivity devices and digital skills as well as job opportunities targeting the youth countrywide.

He further noted that technology has put Kenya on the global map as a leading innovation hub noting that the country is home to unique innovation technology such as MPESA among others.

Mr. Owalo said that the government was targeting to train youths on ICT skills using existing TVET institutions. “The main aim is creating a critical mass skilled labour to support and benefit youths from the digital economy,” he said.

“Many of the young people are unable to access training facilities and this is the gap the programme will address,” he said.

He noted each Jitume center will have up to 100 virtual desktop Infrastructure with broadband connectivity reliable power and security Programme Coordinator provided by KONZA tele pools which is leading partner in the program.

The Cabinet Secretary further noted that each center will have two main programs, the first one will be jitume class training component which is aimed at providing training on skills for digital economy to enable youths access digital jobs.

He said the class will feature both physical and virtual program delivering components supported by partners.

Mr. Owalo said that the second component is jitume kazi which is a work hub/center that provide conducive environment to access online jobs.

“The model has been made possible by the collaboration between ministries, including ICT and Digital Economy, Education, Labour, Foreign & Diaspora Affairs and implementing agencies including ICT Authority, TVET Authority and KONZA techno pool,” he said.

“The Government is keen on availing common services on online portal for ease of access to citizens; this will start by digitizing of government records,” he noted.
