Mass recruitment drive in Nakuru
The Ministry of Labour and Social Services will be undertaking a mass recruitment drive in Nakuru County today, Monday, November 25, 2024, as part of the government’s agenda to bridge the increasing unemployment gap.
In a statement on Sunday, November 24, 2024, Labour Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua said a recruitment exercise targeting at least 1,000 residents of Nakuru will take place today at the Rift Valley National Polytechnic from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
The exercise comes just days after Mutua presided over similar recruitment exercises last week in the Ukambani counties of Machakos, Makueni, and Kitui.
“We have secured over 1000 job opportunities for Nakuru residents in countries such as Australia, Qatar, Poland, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Germany, among others,” Mutua said.
