In a recruitment drive organized by Alfima Recruitment Agency in Bungoma County, over 10,000 youths are set to benefit from lucrative job opportunities in countries like Dubai and Saudi Arabia.
The program offers positions in various fields, including welding, masonry, carpentry, cleaning, and house management.
Speaking to the press in Kisiwa TTI in Bungoma County, Agnes, an agent with Alfima, emphasized the agency’s commitment to ensuring a smooth transition for successful candidates.
“Applicants must have a valid passport and a certificate of good conduct. Once selected, we will handle their visas and tickets to ensure they travel safely,” she explained.
Emmanuel Wamalwa, the principal of Kisiwa TTI, expressed pride in the initiative, noting the abundance of skilled talent in Bungoma.
“There’s a high demand for these jobs, and many qualified students are found here,” he said.
Wamalwa also clarified that interviews for certain roles, like electrical and plumbing jobs, are conducted online, while trades such as masonry and steel fixing require physical interviews.
The enthusiasm among the candidates was visible, with many expressing optimism about what these opportunities could mean for their futures.
“This is more than just a chance to work abroad. It’s a gateway to financial stability and acquiring valuable skills”, Onyait Collins, a Civil Engineering student at the Institute said.
Alfima aims to recruit at least 100 new candidates every month, creating a steady pathway for Kenyan youth to secure meaningful work overseas.
