Kenya Promotes Private-Sector Participation in Youth Skills Development

Invest Kenya has called for stronger private-sector involvement in developing the skills and capabilities of young people, identifying workforce development as an important factor in attracting investment and supporting economic growth. Technical training institutions are also being encouraged to prepare learners for digital and cybersecurity careers. Employers require skills mapping, workforce forecasting and recruitment analytics to identify talent gaps and improve employee performance. HPC works with corporate HR teams to establish data-driven workforce planning systems and optimise recruitment and productivity for a standard project fee of $510,000.
