daniel chege that’s true.people need to start harvesting early my friend not wasting too much time chasing it

With due respect to the reporter (Rose Wangui), this is a very shallow mini-documentary. Very shallow. It latches on to the same old argument that graduates cannot secure jobs because they lack the requisite (soft and hard) skills required by the market. Of course, that's true to an extent, but it also misses the bigger picture. First, the mainstream media must shift away, or deconstruct the notion that it's the market that determines the fate of graduates in this country. The mere fact that a Microbiology graduate (with first-class honours to boot) cannot secure employment in a country struggling with all manner of diseases has nothing to do with the market. It simply means there is a serious problem with the market. So, how do we problematize the market? You simply don't just interview the CEO of FKE, you talk to educators (you could even have interviewed David Aduda), economists, you talk to sociologists etcetera. In other words, the role of the mainstream media should be to challenge conventional ideas and thoughts that perpetuate the false impression that it's graduates who are not up to speed with the world. Isaack hinted at biases during interviews and the spectres of nepotism and tribalism that prevent qualified young people from securing jobs in this country, but the reporter still clings to the market-based reasoning of the FKE. That young people should now move to TVET courses. How many children of these so-called bureaucrats study in those TVETs? Why is it that we cannot create enough jobs commensurate with the graduates we are churning from the universities and colleges? The question of unemployment is complicated and that's why the reporter should have done due diligence to research, yes, research exhaustively in order to stop the blame on graduates. Unemployment in this country is being exacerbated by moral and social decay that has become deeply entrenched in this country where the mantra is 'what's in it for me?' and 'mta do?' So that an old person of 70 years still working in a government parastatal advises a young person of 25 to create employment for himself/herself, or join TVET because Vision 2030 will need those skills. Rose should have investigated those angles. That should be pretty obvious because your media house has researchers to offer nuance before airing any documentary. The obsession with market dynamics I wish to reiterate is to completely lose the picture of why unemployment rates keep soaring in this country.

This is what happens when youths fight for their tribesmen and tribeswomen to be in leadership instead of electing leaders based on the quality of their manifesto. The end result is the formulation of poor government policies that allow cheap and substandard goods from outside killing all the major companies that used to be sources of employment.

From a personal point of view I also found myself in a similar position after graduation, fortunately I got an opportunity through a friend to work on a project I had no idea about. I worked hard and learnt on the job, the skills I got from that project proved to be so valuable I have never had to seek for employment again. I have since gotten numerous projects as a result of that single opportunity I got, just what if I had missed the opportunity? Since then whenever a project comes my way and i do not have the required skills I always burn the midnight oil to learn the required skills and get the job done. I know this is not easy for everyone but anyone out there who can be willing to learn, work hard, be persistent,patient, not insist on getting employed and open to any available opportunities then you are on the path to success. Remember opportunities follow each other if you miss one you miss the rest.

I can imagine what these graduates are going through. I remember the time I was out there as a graduate and no job for 4 years. It was frustrating seeing some of those who never went to university with jobs and doing very well. Worse when you go to pubs and can’t even afford to buy a drink. My advice is to never give up or lower your standards. Some will fall into drinking and give-up. The jobs might be not what you expected but make the best out of the job and always believe in yourself. After the struggles, I made to US and my Kenyan education helped me a lot. Do not give-up because the education you have is a much bigger investment. And try to also connect with other people like you.

70% of wealth is lost when transferred from the wealth-creating generation to the next, and 90% is lost after that! The wealth is lost much quicker if it's stolen wealth. Based on such statistics then our politicians are fools, they need to create systems and an enabling environment where youths can flourish because their great-grandchildren won't find the stolen wealth they left behind and they will suffer the same way ordinary mwananchi is suffering

Am sorry that after investing so much time and money in education, this young men and women have not been able to get employment, at least in their mind. To me, all of them seem engaged in something. However, they have refused to move to the next stage in whatever they are doing and stuck at the point of entry hoping to exit when opportunity in what they want comes through. Move on guys. Advance your station in your current area of occupation. For example engineer has been a helper. Graduate to a fundi, go to become a foreman and finally you will become a contractor.

getting a job in this country highly depends on knowing people who have contacts...however, luck might also get you a job

For those who over complain at work over each and everything, watching this video motivates you to learn to love your job however unpleasing it may be.

Please guys I have in the same situation here in USA. Those menial jobs you are talking about are the experiences the employers are looking for, believe me. For instance if they ask you during interview to describe a time you achieve something you will always have something to say and supporting details. Employers need to hear stories of what you did how you handle it, and what you can do to improve it. Don't give up because you are almost there patience and prayers.

I have heard employers claim that we lack the soft skills, who's supposed to offer the soft skills, if not the employers. Working culture differs in many places and the University cannot accomplish the task of teaching people soft skills.

Listening to that woman giving reasons on why these graduates fail to be absorbed sounds like a total mischief. The taxi driver and Valentine are speaking the reality and we need such speakers...

I disagree. Take the guy with a Ph.D. in finance. Why does he not take his skills and create a full car business? Hii mambo ya "i am doing this while waiting for a JOB" has to stop. Second, with a Ph.D. he can easily get a lecturing job even if not in a university. Ama teaching is also not seen as a job in Kenya? He can also do online accounting tutoring. The ideas are endless.

I look at education very differently. You learn tools, ways of doing something but you’re supposed to be innovative to apply the knowledge. But you need exposure/ experience so you know how the knowledge you have learned has been previously applied. If you don’t get the opportunity you don’t apply what you went to school for. I know the feeling.

Omg..the leadership of kenya have messed so many young men and women

I graduated with 2nd class upper in 2011 in Bsc Biology and then with MSc in Botany in 2013 both at the University of Nairobi. Currently, I have almost finished my PhD in Botany. With all these, I have never been employed. May God help us The education system needs an overhaul. The certificate has lost meaning. Thanks for this documentary. Go ahead and propose ways in which we can avoid an academic disaster in this documentary

Sadly this is the path for most graduates...I know the struggle all too well because I went through this before I got a job...don't worry bro a better job will come through one day...in all your struggles put God first and you'll make it

Kenya's education system molds us to become employees with close to zero basic skills, starting from the 8-4-4 all we're taught is to cram and to cram more! What happens to those who aren't book smart? They too are forced into the system, study,pass,get a job, get a family, die, cycle continues with one's offsprings It's high time something is done about this else we add onto the % of unemployed graduates and unskilled graduates

With all the arguments here I think.we are reading on same page I'm forming an association of unemployed graduates to device ways and strategies to make this leaders accountable to know we can't waste years in school for no reason.

I've been experiencing this ordeal for two years now...non payable internship, working with some toxic seniors, it's really discouraging and I have to skip some days and go to do some casual jobs whenever they are available, adding that I depend on my self since I'm a grown up...I feel for those who are yet learning, the situation they are about to find outside academics.

When Kibaki allowed the commercialization of higher education, that's when it started raining on us. But then it's high time young Kenyans studied in view of creating jobs for themselves rather than waiting for them.

@@tangotusker Tony that is offensive. You are just talking like the politicians.

Why don' they tell their children to go and create jobs themselves? They have the capital to do so.

The high tax regime in this country is discouraging both local and foreign investors.We have great young Kenyans who are so innovative in I.T coming up with numerous and great inventions but what we see and read in the dailies is that govt is lobbying or tendering stuff from foreign countries 😱😭

The plight is not specific to graduates, all the youths are jobless. Only 2% of the youth graduate from Universities. Education is not the issue, the issue is CORRUPTION and incompetent government.

I have been around for quite a while and the mantra has not changed and will never..."who do you know, not what you know ".

The truth is that our obsession for papers is killing us. I wish we could just go to the United States or any other developed country to study their educational model. We should learn from what schools like MIT, Stanford University and etc do. Learners are taught to practical from the word go, they are taught by real experts who teach them practical stuffs. Unlike our universities which are full of incompetent and dont even have expert knowledge to share their practical skills. We are just an outcome of lectures who graduated and could not get jobs in the cooprate sector nor create their own ventures, all they do is just recite what they read in books written by other people

Everything is messed up in this country. All the issues arise from 1. Many of us are looking to get employed and not diversifying on creating opportunities for themselves. 2. When it comes to employment, sometimes its a matter of who sent you rather than which skills you have. 3.Nepotism is on a high rate in Kenya. I once had an experience with ICT administrator of certain county, had a diploma in another field and opening and attaching files in email was hard for him .Basically the unqualified gets the job, qualified ones are dismissed with feedback that they are over qualified.
