A fresh report unveiled at the United Nations General Assembly in New York has shown that young people in Kenya are tapping into artificial intelligence platforms to greatly enhance their career prospects.
The 2025 Country Level Employability Report for Kenya, produced by Zindi in partnership with Dalberg Data Insights, the International Centre for AI Research and Ethics, and the Presidency of Kenya, explores the influence of AI powered challenges on the job market.
According to the findings, nearly one in five Kenyan users on Zindi, the continent’s largest platform for AI and data science challenges, managed to secure a career shift after joining the space. The study tracked more than 8,000 Kenyan participants and revealed that those who actively engaged on the platform were much more likely to advance professionally.
Key data shows that over 80 percent of users with fully completed profiles made progress in their careers, compared to just 3 percent of those with incomplete ones.
