Ajiry further provides a unique link between businesses; where they can be able to easily source human resources and goods.
Speaking during the launch of the online based platform at Nairobi’s Two Rivers Mall on Wednesday, May 22, Centum Group Chairman Chris Kirubi termed Ajiry as a game changer in how youth access employment.
Kirubi exuded optimism the platform will plug the widening gap in the formal employment sector where job opportunities had sharply dwindled.
“Our young people are very committed. You have seen what they are doing in IT. Some of them are even working from home. Many young people have totally gone away from being employed. They have learnt this and what they are doing is seeking advice on how to create job opportunities for themselves,” said Kirubi.
Centum CEO James Mworia observed that there were many skilled youth who had been condemned to joblessness since they were not visible to employers.
Mworia noted that Ajiry will broaden availability of jobs and solve the challenge of awareness.
“When I was young, I used to provide accounting services to small companies, however, I used to face a challenge of awareness. What Ajiry wants to do is to broaden availability of this jobs so that the youth can access them,” said Mworia.
