Is Kenya's workforce ready for the EV Transition?

How is Kenya planning to build it’s talent pipeline to meetthe EV revolution unfolding on it’s streets?

This implores us to look at 1) Reskilling and Upskilling ourexisting workforce and 2) Preparing the coming generations of young talent to take up roles in the EV Industry.

In this episode, I chat with Pius Wathome, from Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), who is working on this very challenge of workforce readiness in the country. Pius has a bachelors in Power Mechanics Technology and is a certified Technical and Vocational Education Trainer (TVET). His work comprises stakeholder engagement, training needs assessment, e-mobility curriculum development, training the trainers, and curriculum piloting in Kenyan TVET institutions.
