KCB Foundation and CFAO Mobility Kenya have signed a partnership aimed at equipping young people with automotive and electric mobility skills while creating employment opportunities in Kenya’s growing mobility sector.
The agreement will support the training of 200 young people through technical and vocational programmes at the Toyota Kenya Academy starting January 2027.
The initiative will combine technical training, entrepreneurship support, financial literacy, and access to markets to help bridge the gap between skills development and employment.
Speaking during the signing ceremony on July 21 2026, KCB Foundation Managing Director Mendi Njonjo said the partnership will help young people gain practical skills that match industry needs.
"The future of work is changing rapidly, and partnerships such as this enable us to equip young people with practical, industry-relevant skills that respond to market needs," said Njonjo.
The programme will also support youth and women-led businesses in the mobility sector through mentorship, incubation, and access to financing solutions for vehicles, motorcycles, and equipment.
CFAO Kenya Managing Director Akira Wada said the partnership will help prepare young people for opportunities in the evolving mobility industry.
"Through this partnership, we are investing in talent development, supporting innovation in e-mobility and creating stronger connections between training, industry and employment," said Wada.
