Most students make career choices with little or no information, guided by family preference, teacher driven, peer influence, individual inclinations or media influence.This has resulted to broken careers and unrealized dreams.
It is for this reason that Makueni first lady Nazi Kivutha in conjunction with the department of Youth Gender Sports and Social Services designed a tailored Students Career Guidance and mentorship programme for different categories of education as well as talent development and life skills mentorship.
The County government of  Makueni is committed to youth empowerment and are working on a Youth Service policy that will ensure all youths are empowered. Governor Kibwana and his deputy Adelina Mwau graced the mentorship programme at Emali town where they promised to ensure the welfare of the young people is factored in the County Integrated Development Plan
