Some of the nomination category awards are, Champion for change for the women in the workplace, Startup of the year award, Best in human resource management award, Business owner of the Year, social entrepreneur award, Young Entrepreneur award among others.
Kenya currently has a difficult employment situation affecting not only the youth population, but the nation as a whole. It is no longer a problem for just the uneducated.
According to Ms Muthoni, enculturing entrepreneurship is a great weapon to counteract unemployment, as entrepreneurs make massive contributions to the growth and development of our economy by opening doors to new ventures, new business and new alliances, but to mention a few.
“In order to encourage more women to start businesses, motivate women in business to increase their investment in the sector, and to illuminate innovative best approaches in achieving the four pillars of the government,” Ms Muthoni added.
