The rise in unemployment in Kenya has become more evident in recent years with young people ‘tarmacking’ for opportunities longer than they should.
The skills gap is also evident and also one of the factors hindering them from earning an income to improve their livelihoods.
At LatitudeZero Opportunities, we believe in empowering young people with skills relevant to the job market today, with which they can create employment opportunities for themselves and others, start a business or have thriving freelance careers.
We are tackling this by providing two sets of programs:
Latzero Kids/Teens Program
Are you a parent/guardian to kids/teens ages of 7-17years?.
Are you looking for a transformative program that is aimed at exposing your child to opportunities, helping them discover and explore their talents while giving them a head-start on the future of work? Well, this program will suit your child.
Latzero Boss Up Program
Are you a young person aged 18-26years? Did you recently graduate high school, or are you in University/ College and are looking to up-skill?
Our Boss Up program is the right fit for you. This program aims at providing you with relevant market skills that can help you start your small business, build your freelancing career or gain meaningful employability skills.
