Ajira Experience Fellow

How long ago did you finish your university education?

What happened to the career dreams you had while on campus?

Would you love to secure a good job?

Have you ever asked yourself why you have failed to secure a decent job after graduation?

Well, don't blame yourself but rather your college or University!

You know why? The majority of graduates produced by East African universities lack employability skills. And this because universities continue to produce graduates whose skills do not match what is demanded in the current competitive job market.

Welcome to the Ajira Academy!

Our mission is to prepare you to become employable. The Ajira Academy will transform you into a highly effective, innovative and proactive human resource that employers are looking for.
