KPC Foundation’s initiative lines up youth-led programs
The beneficiaries will undergo six months of training in Welding and Fabrication and Electrical Installation Technology, followed by three months of industrial attachment at the Morendat Institute of Oil and Gas (MIOG), Nairobi Campus.
The Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) Foundation has launched the INUKA Vocational Youth Empowerment Program, expanding its flagship INUKA Scholarship initiative to include vocational and technical training for youth from communities neighbouring KPC installations.
The newly launched vocational program is set to empower 31 youth drawn from 14 villages across Nairobi’s Mukuru area. The beneficiaries will undergo six months of training in Welding and Fabrication and Electrical Installation Technology, followed by three months of industrial attachment at the Morendat Institute of Oil and Gas (MIOG), Nairobi Campus.
Notably, 13 of the trainees are young women, underscoring the Foundation’s commitment to gender equality and the inclusion of women in traditionally male-dominated technical fields.
Speaking during the launch, KPC Managing Director and KPC Foundation Chairman, Mr. Joe Sang, said the program reflects the Foundation’s responsiveness to the evolving needs of young people.
