10,000 youths to join KCB vocational training drive

Up to 10,000 youths have been picked to join the KCB Foundation’s 2Jiajiri technical and vocational training scholarships programme.

The foundation is using a franchise model and joint venture partnerships in a bid to link beneficiaries with training and market access.

The structure of the partnerships, said KCB, allows 2jiajiri beneficiaries to have a stake in the ownership of businesses that they establish in conjunction with the partnering companies.

This is either through a joint-venture, franchise agreements or branch-operator model.

The 2017 beneficiaries commissioned on Tuesday by President Uhuru Kenyatta will join 70 vocational and technical training institutions across the country from this week.
