The main goal of the Supporting Employment in the Electrotechnical Industry project is to reduce youth unemployment in Kenya by building practical skills. The target group is poor young people from the slums of Nairobi who have limited opportunities to access education. The specific goal of the project is therefore to improve the chances of disadvantaged youth in Nairobi to enter the job market. The project aims to achieve this by building practical skills in the electrical-engineering specialization of refrigeration and air-conditioning, as well as through further employment-support activities. It is being carried out at the government-certified Don Bosco Boys Town Technical Institute in Nairobi. The electrotechnical industry is developing rapidly in Kenya, but the market lacks the qualified workforce needed to install and maintain equipment. The project therefore plans to open an electrical-engineering course specializing in refrigeration and air-conditioning. The new specialization will complement the existing solar-energy specialization and thus expand the range of practical skills in the field. The teaching space will be renovated and equipped with the necessary furniture and study materials, after which teaching will begin. An important part of the project will focus on connecting graduates with the job market. Students will complete internships with future employers, a career-orientation seminar and a business-skills course; talented students will receive a start-up package to launch their own business. The project will monitor and accompany employed graduates. The project also aims to support higher quality of education and services at Boys Town. The project will help equip selected trades with new tools and materials, which will raise the quality of practical teaching and make students more attractive to future employers. The project will also achieve higher quality of education and services through training in teaching skills and the preventive system for teachers, as well as through psychological support for Boys Town students. The project was launched on 7 August 2018 and will run until 31 July 2020 and was supported from SlovakAid resources through a grant of EUR 175,352.
