Work Integrated Learning - Cooperative Education Conference Igniting the Employability Revolution in East Africa
A 2-day conference to be held in Nairobi, Kenya from November 21st to 22nd, 2018
United States International University-Africa (USIU), Linking Industry With Academia (LIWA), Cresco Skills Development (CRESCO) and Southern African Society for Cooperative Education (SASCE) have come together to organise the WIL conference in Kenya. The WIL conference which is supported by the Ministry of Education, State Department of Vocational and Technical Training (TVET) seeks to ignite the employability revolution in East Africa and provide an effective approach to implement Work Integrated Learning and in the process, improve student employability aligned to the needs of industry and East Africa's development plans
According to the 'Universities, employability and inclusive development: repositioning higher education in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa' published in 2016-17 by the British Council, "Kenya faces a growing problem of what has been referred to as the 'youth bulge', with 80 per cent of its population under 35 years old. The youth, aged 15-34 years, which form 35 per cent of the population, have the highest unemployment rate of 67 per cent. Not all of this age group are in the labour force, but the unemployment rate amongst those that are is extremely high. The recent expansion of the university sector has fed into perceptions that many of the increased number of graduates joining the labour market are failing to obtain jobs."
