Five hundred Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) scholars under the Wings to Fly programme gathered in Nairobi for a two-day mentorship forum, where they were urged to harness artificial intelligence and digital tools to generate employment rather than simply seek it.
The forum, organised by the Education and Leadership Development Pillar at Equity Group Foundation (EGF), brought together second and third-year scholars pursuing Level 5 certificates and Level 6 diplomas from institutions across the country.
Sessions covered AI, entrepreneurship, leadership, career readiness and professional networking, all under the theme Smart Skills for a Smart World: Revolutionizing for the Digital Age.
Hannah Kimani, General Manager for Education and Leadership Development at EGF, encouraged participants to identify community problems and apply digital tools to address them.
