Employability
‘Vusha’ is a Kiswahili word for transition. Funded by the Rockefeller Foundation through its Digital Jobs Africa initiative, Vusha Youth Employability Program was a demand-driven workforce development program intended to improve employability prospects and income generating capacities of 4,500 young people, aged 20 - 29 years from poor and disadvantaged households in Kiambu, Nairobi, Mombasa and Machakos counties of Kenya.
The project sought to expand ACWICT’s ongoing youth employability program that provides digital skills and life skills training, financial literacy skills, on-the-job experience coupled with job placement support to poor and disadvantaged young people in Nairobi’s main informal settlements. The expansion targeted an additional 4,500 young people and equip them with new and additional skills for accessing and engaging online work to generate new forms of/additional income. The women and youth-targeted by the “Vusha” project were at their transition point from high school/vocational and/or tertiary education to the world of work.
"We equipped young people with new and additional skills for accessing and engaging online work to generate new forms of/additional income"
