Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service Felix Koskei has urged Kenyans to keep on learning to stay ahead in the world's ever-changing job market.
In a statement on Wednesday, Koskei said while at it, everyone should also embrace technology because it also plays a crucial role in the current and future job markets.
"To stay ahead in the rapidly changing job landscape, it's crucial to embrace technology.
"Embracing technology not only enhances your current role but also prepares you for future advancements, ensuring long-term career relevance and success," he said on X.
Koskei who is also the State House Chief of Staff further called on everyone to begin by learning new skills and how to execute tasks with new tools.
He insisted that continuous education and collaboration with colleagues will help a lot in building a culture of using technology in the country.
"Start by actively seeking opportunities to learn and adopt new tools and skills. Engage in continuous education, Collaborate with colleagues to share insights and experiences, fostering a culture of tech integration."
His remarks come as the Kenya Kwanza administration banks on creating jobs through digital platforms for Kenyan youths and creatives.
The President William Ruto-led administration has started by incorporating access to all government services through digital platforms. The services are on eCitizen.
In June last year, Broadcasting and Telecommunications PS Edward Kisiang’ani said the government would spend Sh15.1 billion to develop the digital superhighway.
The move, he said, is in a bid to position the country as a unique creative economy hub destination.
Kisiang’ani said the ministry was seeking financial support from the private sector to further develop the creatives as they seek to leverage government facilities such as the digital superhighway and the Konza Technopolis Data Centre.
"At the moment, we are looking at the tax regimes with a view to optimise and streamline. We would like the creative to be promoted and not to be punished by some of these tax regimes," he said.
"We are also looking at the legal issues to ensure checks and balances in the sector to avoid infringement on privacy while advancing the creative economy."
He urged stakeholders in the creative economy to leverage technology and innovation to create more jobs and spur the nation’s economic growth.
