KENYA YOUTH EMPOWERMENT PROJECT CALL FOR YOUTH TO PARTICIPATE IN CYCLE 4 OF THE  PRIVATE SECTOR BASED TRAINING AND INTERNSHIP
PROGRAM

(For Placement in Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu Only)

The Kenya Youth Empowerment Project (KYEP) is a four year pilot project financed by the Government of Kenya (GoK) with a credit from the World Bank. KYEP is coordinated by the  Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports (MOYAS), and comprises two components: Capacity  building within the MOYAS and providing training and internships in the private sector. The  GoK has appointed the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) to implement the Component  of Private Sector Training and Internship (PSIT).

The training and internship program lasts six months. Half of the entire internship period is  spent in trainings while the other half is spent at the workplace. The project sites are Nairobi,  Mombasa and Kisumu which means that while youth can apply from anywhere in Kenya,  successful candidates will only be trained and placed for internship in either Nairobi, Mombasa  or Kisumu. The number of youth selected for the program is as follows: 1350 in Nairobi, 600 in Mombasa and 300 in Kisumu. Youth who meet the eligibility criteria are selected through automated random selection. Applicants not selected randomly to participate in the program may reapply in future cycles.

All selected youth undergo two weeks of Life Skills training at the start of the cycle and thereafter, a competitive selection process for internship opportunities is conducted by employers through interviews for all those who successfully complete Life Skills training.

From the interviews, only 900 in Nairobi, 450 in Mombasa and 200 in Kisumu proceed with the rest of the internship program. The successful interns receive a stipend of Kshs 6, 000 per month as a contribution towards their transport costs and meals. However, interns receive this monthly stipend only on the basis of their full attendance of the internship program.

During the internship program, interns are placed in one of the following sectors which are considered to be the growth sectors in the Kenya Vision 2030: Energy; Finance; Tourism; ICT; Manufacturing and Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs). Selection of sectors will be done during the first two weeks of training and proper guidance will be provided.

Cycle 1 was implemented in Nairobi, cycle 2 in both Nairobi and Mombasa while cycle 3 is ongoing in Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu.

KEPSA NOW INVITES APPLICATIONS FROM YOUTH WHO WISH TO PARTICIPATE IN CYCLE 4 OF THE KYEP TRAINING AND  INTERNSHIP PROGRAM. This invitation is for youth who are ready to be PLACED WITHIN  NAIROBI, MOMBASA OR KISUMU COUNTIES. Those who will be selected and do not reside in these counties are expected to cater for their accommodation costs.

To be eligible, applicants must:
a) Be between 15 and 29 years of age;
b) Have a minimum qualification of KCPE;
c) Have been out of school for at least one year;
d) Not be currently working;
e) Not currently in school/college (including Part-time classes);
f) Be of Kenyan nationality; and,
g) Not have been selected in previous cycles.

Youth who meet the above eligibility criteria and are interested are invited to apply. Proof of eligibility will be required before enrolment into the program. As the internship is six months in length – and full attendance is required throughout – youth are required to ensure that they do not have conflicting commitments before applying.
