The PropelA Dual Apprenticeship initiative is a flagship skills development program which promotes an employer-led dual apprenticeship system for the construction sector in Kenya. The project seeks to find lasting solutions to the rising demand and low supply of qualified technical skills in the market, particularly, the plumbing and electrical trades.
The apprentices gain relevant skills training through the combination of two learning locations: on-the-job training in leading companies in Nairobi (3 weeks a month) and theoretical learning at Don Bosco Boys Town. The training model is organized in a way that the apprentices will work in the private partner company for 3 weeks a month under the mentorship and supervision of designated company mentors and will attend the TVET school 1 week a month at Don Bosco Boys Town - Karen.
This approach fosters a new generation of skilled construction professionals. To date, we've enrolled over 200 apprentices and partnered with over 34 leading plumbing and electrical companies. We're currently recruiting cohort 3 apprentices.
Application is open to young men and women aged 18-24 years, residing in Nairobi County, who are passionate about plumbing or electrical trades. Candidates must possess a secondary school certificate with a minimum grade of D+ and demonstrate fluency in written and spoken English. A two-year full-time training commitment is required.
