Ajira Digital interns induction exercise starts in Nairobi – KBC

The government has kicked off a week-long Ajira Digital interns Induction exercise at the University of Nairobi.

The induction exercise spearheaded by the Ministry of Information, Communications and Technology is meant to equip over 230 interns with digital skills that would enable them to derive above-average income from the digital space.

ICT Principal Secretary Jerome Ochieng said that the Ajira Digital program will go a long way in boosting the blue economy amongst other sectors.

Ochieng further observed that the formal sector is already and continues to get stretched following a large number of entrants into the workforce and therefore, Ajira Digital program will assist in equipping the interns with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in the informal through technology.

On his part, the Government Spokesperson Colonel Retired Cyrus Oguna noted that the induction is the first of its kind and seeks to assist in solving unemployment in the country.
