Applying for a well paying job is a skill that should be taught in school.
Most Kenyan graduates don’t know how to increase their odds of getting a well paying job.
It takes more than just sending a CV with first-class honors written in bold.
I’ve read all the comments and concluded that majority are from the employed. No one has mentioned entrepreneurship…
Endeleeni kutafuta kazi badala ya biashara
Anza na our education system. Ukiwa primary school teachers used to tell us tusome tuwe dr, engineers, lawyers etc. From childhood tumekuwa trained to be employees.
Right now its lack employment and underemployment that is forcing Kenyans to start biz na kuwa freelancers.
This reality will evolve the next generation kuona entrepreneurship na freelancing are also great
apa dindu mlichochwa, i hope u did not lie to your kids the way our parents did
Owner of capital. Am an incoming bujwazi.
Niaje borntao…mimi hutaka sana kuingia/kuanza biashara because that’s the only venture where sky is the limit lakini tuseme ukweli biashara iko na swara mingi & unfair competition na mimi ni mtu nazingatia maadili…kindly advice
Are you trolling ama hii ujing yote inatoshea kwa hio kichwa?
That is all you picked from my comment?
Graduates cry that there are no jobs because they graduate having workforce skills but there is no place to apply these skills. It is businesses, manufacturing and producing industries that hire people. Kenya has very few of these. Also, discriminatory hiring practices, nepotism contributes to this menace.
U would expect agriculture and water related courses to have the highest demand, lakini ni B Com procurement option ndio Kila fala anasoma
Lakini how selfish are our so called leaders. You would think that given the youth bulge priority ingekua manufacturing industries in order to absorb these graduates but ooh no Bora their families are taken care of raiya shauri yenu. Mliskia governor s juzi asking for medical insurance abroad even after retirement. Why are we this callous
Dont be an Odhiambo. You wanted it picked that way otherwise you would have used laymans terms.
I’m dead serious.
For instance, I have met a computer science degree graduate complaining there are no jobs when there are people with no degrees in the same field that are turning down job offers because they’re overwhelmed.
Together with my friends tried farming in 2020 and corona happened. schools and hotels closed and the market dwindled. i almost went mad, serious saving ikakunywa maji .nyanya na cabbage iliozea kwa shamba. sometimes no matter how hard you try, things do not go as planned.
Bila connections hii kenya utabandika hizo degree kwa wall pale kundu bay,and if at all uko na network,bila pesa mtu yangu hakuna pahali unasonga…no balance
Victim mentality. Ukifikiria hivi hakuna pahali unaenda.
Pesa ya kuanzia biashara mtu anatoa wapi? Most Kenyans graduate with a HELB loan and zero capital to start a business.
Ama aanze biashara ya kuuza chipo mwitu kando ya barabara ama mayai? Juu biz kama hizo ndio zinahitaji capital kidogo.
And even if you give that early 20s guy money to start a business, 9/10 times that business won’t succeed because of inexperience and lack of consistent cash flow before the business turns a profit.
A long-term business needs cash flow injection for a few months before it can peak.
:D:D
Business is good but inahitaji capital, a graduate that can’t afford kununua simu ya 10k atatoa wapi pesa ya kuanza agriculture ama business?
mwizi wa ngombe we are coming for you
For most of human history people were self-employed/freelancers. This artificial economy we’ve witnessed in the past century where employment is the default is unsustainable.
