Kenya can reap dividends by upskilling workforce

A significant portion of Kenya's workforce may be slightly behind global leaders in terms of technical skills, especially as automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital transformation reshape industries worldwide. Yet, this gap presents an opportunity as much as a challenge. If Kenya acts now-investing in skill development and revamping its education and training systems-the country can prepare its workforce to thrive in this new, tech-driven economy. With a commitment to upskilling and a focus on future-ready skills, Kenya can not only catch up but also position itself as a competitive force, ready to harness the power of emerging industries and innovation.
