The President pointed out that the government is negotiating similar agreements with other countries to open doors for more skilled, tech-savvy youth to thrive on the world stage.
Additionally, he said 100,000 youth in all wards across Kenya will each receive KSh50,000 start-up capital under the new National Youth Opportunities Towards Advancement (Nyota) programme.
"Next month, the first batch of 54,000 young men and women will receive these funds and begin their training," he said.
President Ruto said there were plans to expand and upgrade NYS facilities, including hostels, as is currently happening in tertiary institutions and public universities.
The President encouraged the fresh graduates to pursue their career and personal endeavours with vigour, commitment, and a burning desire for excellence.
"I challenge you, as I do all Kenyans today: We must rise above the average, and dare to embrace greatness."
