The County Government of Busia has unveiled a youth mentorship programme aimed at guiding and equipping young people with skills and professional networks to ease their transition into the job market.
The initiative follows concerns raised by a section of youth who cited a lack of mentorship and structured support as a major challenge as they navigate education, career choices and employment.
Speaking during a youth leadership summit at Kamuriai ACK church in Teso North, Deputy Governor Arthur Odera said the county would establish a structured mentorship network linking experienced professionals with young people across Busia.
