Following the allegations that most youths risk radicalization to join terror groups and gangs, government of Kenya has responded with good news to young Kenyans seeking jobs in government
Through the National Youth Council (NYC) government has made it clear that unemployed youths will only need an internship as a qualification to apply for a government job
The issue of young people being told that they need three years’ experience before being promoted will be a thing of the past,” Ms Abubakar said, adding that internship will be considered part of one’s professional experience and is all that will be required for one to qualify for certain positions, NYC Chair Fatuma Abubakar said .
She also announced that the council will also sensitize youths about various opportunities in government
“Through county forums, we will sensitise young people, tell them about job placements, and about technical and vocational educational training programmes,” Ms Abubakar said
This good news came during the council’s new chief executive officer, Mr Roy Sasaka, at the council’s offices in Nairobi.
