Project overview
The Better Utilization of Skills for Youth through Quality Apprenticeship (BUSY project) is a four year initiative being financed by the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), and implemented by International Labour Organization (ILO) in partnership with the Ministry of Labour, the Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE) and the Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU-K).
The overall project goal is to increase decent job opportunities and employability of young people, thereby addressing unemployment, vulnerability and poverty in urban and rural settings.
The project’s objective is to improve the capacity of Kenyan government, employers’ and workers’ organizations, and civil society organizations to establish and expand workplace-based training programs with a focus on vulnerable and marginalized youth {Vulnerable and Marginalized Youth (VMY)’ refers to youth ages 16-24, in particular adolescents 16-17 years old, at or above the legal working age, who are engaged in or at risk of engaging in hazardous}, in particular adolescents at or above the legal working age who are engaged in or at risk of engaging in child labor.
The BUSY project is expected to achieve the following three long-term outcomes:
Laws or policies supporting quality workplace-based training opportunities for youth in Kenya, including vulnerable and marginalized youth, are improved and / or implemented by key stakeholders;
Kenyan government, employers’ and workers’ organizations, and other stakeholders implement best practices related to workplace-based training for youth, including the most vulnerable and marginalized; and,
The quality of existing public and private programs in Kenya that provide vulnerable and marginalized youth with prerequisite skills to enter workplace-based training programs is improved.
Towards achievement of outcome one, the project is offering technical support to key government agencies, constituents and other relevant bodies in respect of
the negotiation, formulation and implementation of laws (and other specific measures that complement the legal framework) on workplace-based training for adolescent young men and women.
The project is supporting the review of relevant regulations and policies on youth employment and workplace-based training, specifically, relevant regulations governing apprenticeships.
