BrighterMondy and Generation Kenya partnered this year to equip high school and tertiary institution graduates with sales skills that will help kick-start their careers. We mobilized youth from different neighborhoods in Nairobi and its environs and took them through a youth employability program where they gathered invaluable soft skills making them job-ready unlike most of the youth currently leaving learning institutions. We then worked with employers in our database to help place these trained and job-ready graduates after a 6-week program.
