According to an Article written on the 14 September 2022 in the Africa Renewal by Raphael Obonyo,it is revealed that approximately 10-12 million young Africans are released unto the job market annually. Unfortunately, there are only about 3 million formal jobs waiting for them. According to the African Development Bank (AFDB), this deteriorated further due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Join us at a workshop titled "Design Methodologies of job creation in Afrika" held by the Department of Art and Design, nestled within the Faculty of the Built Environment  at the University of Nairobi.
