NYOTA PROJECT- OJE (On-Job-Experience).
The NYOTA Project’s On-the-Job Experience (OJE) induction and Socio-Emotional Skills Development (SESD) training has officially commenced across Machakos, Makueni, Kitui, Taita Taveta, and Kwale counties under Lot 3, as well as Kirinyaga, Embu, Nyeri, Meru, Tharaka Nithi, Nyandarua, and Murang’a counties under Lot 4.
Yesterday marked the first day of the 20-day intensive SESD training, ushering in an exciting and interactive journey for youth beneficiaries as they begin building essential workplace skills, confidence, and resilience.
Across all participating counties, beneficiaries reported early and in high spirits, ready to engage in a learning experience that prepares them for the world of work.
The training is structured to equip participants with critical life and employability skills, including communication, teamwork, emotional intelligence, professionalism, financial discipline, resilience, and basic business management.
Through dynamic group discussions, presentations, hands-on activities, and field-based learning, each session is tailored to foster personal growth and real-world readiness.
To support effective learning throughout the programme, beneficiaries have been provided with trainee manuals, notebooks, pens, charts, and interactive visual tools, ensuring an engaging and well-resourced training environment.
After the classroom phase, participants move into a six-month placement with Master Craftsmen, where they receive hands-on mentorship, continuous monitoring, technical skills of their choice, and practical experience in real work settings.
The initiative continues to reflect the government’s commitment, under the leadership of H.E. President Dr William Samoei Ruto, to empower young people, expand access to opportunities, and unlock their full potential as key drivers of national development.
