In an era where traditional academic paths no longer guarantee employment, the demand for practical, hands-on skills is rapidly growing. Kenya, like many countries, faces a major challenge — youth unemployment. Many young people complete secondary or even university education only to find themselves unprepared for the job market.
In response to this reality, Sensei Institute of Technology is proud to announce its upcoming Career Clinic, set to take place on 18th July 2025 at its Nakuru Campus.
Themed “Skills for Tomorrow: Empowering Kenya’s Youth,” the event aims to expose students to technical and vocational training options that can open real career opportunities and financial independence.
Why a Career Clinic
This event isn’t just another seminar or exhibition — it’s a career-launching platform. Organized for high school students, youth, teachers, and career advisors, the Career Clinic is designed to bridge the gap between education and employment.
With unemployment affecting many school leavers, this event offers a much-needed look at alternative career paths that are both viable and in high demand.
The goal is simple but powerful: to help young people discover career options beyond the classroom — grounded in skill, passion, and opportunity.
Practical Skills for the Real World
Sensei Institute has built a solid reputation for offering industry-aligned training in fields like:
- Automotive Mechanics
- Masonry and Construction
- Welding and Fabrication
- Electrical Installation
- Spray Painting and Graffiti Art
- Plumbing
- ICT and Graphic Design
During the Career Clinic, students will get to interact directly with Sensei students and trainers, observe practical demonstrations, and ask real questions about what it’s like to train in these areas.
This hands-on exposure is invaluable in helping students make informed decisions about their future.
Inspirational Talks by Industry Leaders
The event will feature keynote sessions from Mr. John Kangethe, Director of Sensei Institute, and Mr. Philip Saina, Head of Academics and Career Coach. These respected professionals will speak on:
- The changing landscape of employment
- The rising value of technical skills
- The mindset shift from job-seeking to job-creating
- The importance of choosing a skill that matches your interest and potential
Their insights aim to empower students to think differently about their future — not just chasing degrees, but building capabilities that are marketable and fulfilling.
Exposure = Empowerment
Many students have never seen a functioning garage, workshop, or construction site up close. They’ve heard about courses like “automotive engineering” or “welding,” but have no idea what those careers involve. The Career Clinic solves this by offering direct exposure to real training environments, complete with live demonstrations of student work.
By engaging with student-led projects, participants can begin to see:
- What different trades involve on a day-to-day basis
- What kind of tools and skills are used
- The creativity and technical know-how required
- The potential to become self-employed or work anywhere in Kenya and beyond
This kind of practical exposure helps demystify technical education and makes it more appealing to students who may have overlooked it.
Beyond inspiration and exposure, students will also receive personal career guidance. Sensei’s career counselors and training advisors will be available to:
Career Guidance That Matters
- Answer questions about different courses
- Help students understand their strengths and interests
- Provide tips on how to choose the right training path
- Share success stories of former students who are now thriving in their fields
This support can be a turning point for students who are unsure about what to pursue after school. It provides clarity, motivation, and a real sense of direction.
How to Participate
Sensei Institute is calling on schools, youth organizations, and parents to bring their students to this life-changing event. Attendance is free, and participants will also receive informational materials to take home.
