On 16th March 2024, President Ruto announced a deal with America, Germany and France for online jobs. Later in January 2025, Kisii Polytechnic reportedly hosted an international job recruitment drive.
In January 2026, talks between Kenya and Germany were held in Germany on labour mobility, seeking to align Kenya’s growing skilled professionals with Germany’s labour market needs as part of a broader bilateral migration and human resource development framework.
Moreover, in February 2026, Kenya and France held discussions strengthening a forward-looking partnership that is focused on unlocking opportunities for Africa’s future, especially for its youth. Following the visit, the two nations entered a new era of bilateral relations, transitioning from a traditional aid-based model to a sustainable strategic partnership driven by investment, co-creation and reciprocity.
In January 2026, Principal Secretary for Broadcasting and Telecommunications Stephen Isaboke revealed that 400 youths were currently benefiting from digital skills training at the ICT hub in Kisii, as well as 8800 beneficiaries from Kisii and its environs through the NYOTA project.
However, none of these meetings have been held to specifically discuss these opportunities in relation to the Kisii Youth; they are mostly general discussions.
