27 Academies Universities, Polytechnics8,834+ Students since Inception, 34% Females

95 instructors, 20% Females

Key Findings: The Networking Academy has increased career opportunities for students; nearly two-thirds of students find employment.

Three-quarters of those finding employment have positions that include networkingfunctions.

Two-thirds find employment in the private sector. Over 10 percent of former students start their own business

Before I had no job, no focus in life; but with just a Cisco certificate, I am now a self-employed young man

with awesome potential in the future.The major change is that Ive started my own small business.

I learned that after attainin knowled e of networkin , settin u m own business was the best o tion.

Impact a few

The transformation of Sega Silicon Valley intoa small web hub has assisted me a great deal

as it has saved me the agony of cycling toRambula and Ukwala community librarieswhere I could go yet some of the books

needed are not available, Vincent Odhiambo

Through the ICT Skills Iacquired at SSV, I was ableto create a digital OB and

was promoted to SeniorOfficer, Sega Police Post,

Peter Mbuthia

I now have a place to socialise withthe community and I look forward toweekends, because we go to watch

cinema, Magdalene Awiti

After school I go to thecommunity centre and use

computers and I now have anemail address, Barack

Odongo
