July 2015Slide2
“We Have Been Forgotten!”Slide3
The building
and construction sector contributes 3% of all informal jobs in Kenya and is a key employment opportunity for the youth.
Yes, despite being a critical supplier of jobs, building and construction is faced by significant skills shortage with only
25% of workers formally
trained.
“In a pool of 100 masons who say they
are qualified
, less than 10% have the
desired level
of skills; in order to select who to
work with
, we give them assignments
and establish
who can perform. We face
a significant
shortage of relevant skill
for finishers
, and have to import them
from China
, India, and Eastern Europe. The cost
of expatriation
can go a long way in
improving salaries
for local staff if available
in sufficient
skill level. Right now it takes
nearly 4
times as long
to complete
finishing
of developments
.”
