Government targets certification of 40,000 skilled workers by 2027 through RPL programme

Kenya aims to enhance its workforce by certifying unqualified skilled workers through an RPL program.

The Kenyan government has set an ambitious target to certify 40,000 skilled workers lacking formal qualifications by 2027 through the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) program. This initiative aims to expand job opportunities for artisans and enhance their credibility in the labor market. It is a crucial step towards recognizing skills acquired through informal training and practical experience, ultimately enabling Kenyan workers to compete effectively in both local and international job markets. The program focuses on various sectors, including construction and agriculture, providing essential training and certification opportunities.
