Located within Avon Center on Enterprise Road in Nairobi’s Industrial Area, Kamau Gachigi sits as the executive director of Gearbox, a firm he founded nine years ago as a non-profit entity to address a glaring skills gap that then marred the country’s engineering trade.
Within the three-storey space, Dr Gachigi is, with the helping hands of two other management executives and at least seven members of the technical staff, giving engineering trainees an industry entry platform, coaching them on the finer details of their craftsmanship and catapulting them into the job market.
