The Government has reopened applications for the NYOTA Programme’s On-the-Job Experience (OJE) component to expand skills training and employment opportunities for vulnerable youth. Speaking at Talanta Plaza, Youth Affairs and Creative Economy Principal Secretary Fikirini Jacobs said the reopening targets young people who missed the initial intake under the multi-billion NYOTA Project, which aims to empower 820,000 youth nationwide. The programme prioritises youth with low or no formal education, refugees, and those facing multiple vulnerabilities, while maintaining a gender-balanced approach. Under OJE, 90,000 youth will undergo six months of skills training and six months of apprenticeship, receive a monthly Sh6,000 stipend, and be certified by NITA and NYOTA. Applications are open for two weeks via *254#.
