Eldoret based Tech Hub EldoHub in partnership with Thunderbird School of Global Management and with support from the UK Kenya Tech have launched a Digital Apprenticeship Programme targeting tech professionals.

The programme is aimed at equipping young tech professionals with the necessary skills they need for the job market.

According to Eldohub Founder and Managing Director Magdaline Chepkemoi, the move is aimed at bridging the skills gap in the industry.

“Kenya is known as the Silicon Savannah for numerous reasons and what cements this reputation is her youthful, tech savvy population. Whilst this kind of talent can and should be propelling Kenya’s future, the reality is that many techies lack real work practical experience.  On the other hand businesses that are hiring, want more experienced techies with at least a few years under their belt.  How will these junior techies ever get hired without experience,” she said.
