The government has reopened applications for Phase Two of the NYOTA Project, with the registration window running from October 6 to October 12.
The programme is designed to support young Kenyans by providing training, job experience, and learning opportunities.
To make the process accessible to all, applications will be done through mobile phones by dialing *254#.
Once connected, users can select ‘Apply for NYOTA Project’ from the main menu and then choose one of three interventions: Business Support (on-the-job training), On-the-job Experience (internship), or Learning & Practice.
Applicants will then be guided through prompts to complete their registration.
During the process, individuals will be asked to provide details such as their education level, disability status, county of residence, and employment situation.
Once the information is submitted, applicants receive a confirmation message acknowledging their registration.
Eligibility is limited to Kenyan citizens who possess a valid National Identity Card and a SIM card registered in their own name.
The programme primarily targets youth who have completed secondary education (Form Four/KCSE) but have not advanced to college or university.
Priority will also be given to unemployed or underemployed individuals, particularly those engaged in informal or low-income work.
