We are undertaking far-reaching reforms to transform the National Youth Service (NYS) into a dynamic and productive institution; one that is truly fit for purpose, and capable of equipping our young people with market-relevant skills and qualifications that prepare them for the opportunities of the modern job market. Through structured training with industry partners, NYS graduates will be able to advance into higher learning, join our disciplined services to defend peace and security, or venture into enterprise. To ensure more young Kenyans benefit, we are expanding recruitment into the NYS from the current 20,000 to 100,000 by the year 2028, the largest expansion in its history.
