ROSE, VALERY: Embrace digital jobs for bright future

Dear Gen Z,

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, it's crucial to look ahead and understand how digital jobs can light the way to success and empowerment.

Take inspiration from places where innovation is not just about technology but also about shaping careers and transforming lives.

An example is Lish AI Labs which stands as a beacon of hope by training individuals in AI and machine learning, creating job opportunities, and fostering skills crucial for the digital economy.

Despite challenges, such as shifts in the job market during global crises like COVID-19, there has been resilience and adaptability, bringing back lost opportunities and paving the way for new ones.

Consider the stories of individuals like Joseph Ongeya and Susan Muringi, whose careers flourished.

Joseph found his niche in data annotations, while Susan overcame post-graduation challenges to find fulfilment and support her family through digital work opportunities.

Their journeys illustrate how seizing digital job opportunities can lead to personal growth and financial stability.

As Gen Z, embracing digital jobs means not just adapting to technological advancements but also championing them.

It is about advocating for educational curricula that integrate IT skills and fostering partnerships between public and private sectors to create more digital job opportunities.

Let's learn from the success of places where digital innovation illuminates’ paths to success and empowers individuals to thrive in the modern workspace.

Together, let's shape a future where digital skills pave the way for fulfilling careers and meaningful contributions to society.

Lastly, as our voices are heard and our demands are taken seriously, let us also lend a listening ear to our leaders, including the President.

It's through dialogue and collaboration that we can ensure our aspirations are understood and acted upon for a brighter future.

The future of work is digital - let's embrace it and forge our paths to success.

It is truly remarkable to witness the immense influence that technology wields, uniting us in solidarity and demonstrating its formidable power.
