Nearly one million young Kenyans have recently completed their national secondary school examinations, Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE). A large portion of them will be looking to proceed to college when their results are released in a few weeks. Top of their mind will be the question ‘What course do I pursue?’.
The reality is that there are hundreds of courses, but as we have seen over the last 10 years, the work environment is changing rapidly, such that every three to five years, new roles emerge that no one anticipated would become relevant or be in demand in future.
