Mombasa County is launching a large-scale skills training initiative called Skills Mtaani, collaborating with over 400 accredited institutions. The program seeks to address youth unemployment by providing practical, market-relevant skills to young people. This partnership aims to enhance employability and encourage entrepreneurship across the county. Representatives from the participating institutions met to discuss implementation strategies. The initiative represents a significant investment in workforce development for Mombasa’s youth. County officials hope the program will lead to a more skilled and competitive local labor force. Skills Mtaani is designed to directly respond to market demands and create opportunities for economic advancement.
