Kenyans can now work for prestigious Chinese corporations after 38 of the Asian nation’s biggest businesses pledged to provide job chances for young Kenyans.
The corporations made their commitments at the Nairobi-based YouthConnekt Africa Summit 2023, which concluded on December 10.
Placements will be made in a variety of industries, such as trade, construction, and information communication and technology. The new agreement calls for the program run by the Kenya China Economic and Trade Association (KCETA) to absorb over 500 youth.
KCETA was created in 2001 with 51 Chinese-invested enterprises in Kenya, and over the years it has grown to 102 members.
One of the leading phone manufacturers in the world stated that the agreement to employ Kenyan youth stemmed from a belief in President William Ruto’s digital transformation programmes.

As a result, the multinational said that it was dedicated to assisting the nation in reaching its goals for employment development. “As part of our programme to support talent growth and economic development, we have co-organized the 2023 edition of the annual Job Fair with the KCETA to offer young Kenyans more than 500 placement opportunities,” noted the chief executive officer of one of the businesses.
The initiative will upskill and increase the ICT ability of Kenyans who are absorbed into it. One strategy the administration of President William Ruto has suggested to stimulate the economy of the country through remittances from the diaspora is the export of skilled labor.
Kenya used to export a large amount of unskilled labor to nations in the Middle East. In order to export skilled and semi-skilled labor, the Kenya Kwanza administration has already signed bilateral labor agreements with Kuwait, Germany, and other nations.
