The Kenya Labour Market Information System

Provision of Labour Market Information

The Kenya Labour Market Information System (KLMIS) empowers young people by providing timely and relevant labour market insights. It equips them with information on job opportunities, skills in demand, and occupational requirements, enabling them to align their abilities with both national and global Labour market needs and ultimately enhancing their employability.

This is made possible through:

• Expanding access to job opportunities by highlighting sectors and occupations with the highest vacancies and emerging employment trends.
• Strengthening career guidance and counselling by offering detailed career profiles, required qualifications, and clear pathways for various occupations.
• Supporting informed skills development by mapping accredited training institutions, approved courses, and skills currently needed in the labour market.
• Providing deeper labour insights, including high-growth sectors, wages, working conditions, and emerging opportunities.
• Encouraging entrepreneurship by identifying sectors with business potential and areas suitable for self-employment.
• Providing labour migration indicators that show global labour demand for Kenyan workers, alongside contract terms and wage profiles in destination countries.

By presenting clear labour market signals, KLMIS promotes more informed decision-making. For further details on Labour market information, go to labourmarket.go.ke
