County Government of Laikipia
Abstract/ Overview
The high rate of unemployment in Laikipia County has been a source of great concern for policy makers in county government and other key sectors. One of the contributing factors to this state of affairs is the lack of practical work-based experience among the graduates. Every year, hundreds of young people graduate from post school institutions and universities with certificates, diplomas and degrees from a wide range of academic and technical disciplines. However, their preparation for after-school work and life is generally low, leading to a sense of frustration and a great feeling of betrayal of the societal contract i.e. growing up, schooling and raising a family and contributing to the county’s growth. Employment opportunities for the youth marks an important transitional period towards independence, increased responsibility and active participation in county as well as societal development. The converse is also true; left on their own without attendant remedial strategies, they are likely to fall into social ills such as crime, drug and substance abuse, and religious fanaticism.
