LinkedOUT
A purpose-built, web and mobile-enabled platform that: Enables youth to register, profile, and showcase skills
Kenya does not have a skills deficit it has an access deficit.
The old way
- ✕ Job platforms built for CVs and degrees
- ✕ Real, practical skill has no way to "show up" online
- ✕ Employers rely on word-of-mouth or guesswork
- ✕ Skilled youth stuck in low-paying, one-off gigs
The LinkedOUT way
- ✓ A digital profile built around what you can actually do
- ✓ Verified by peers, mentors, or completed work
- ✓ Employers search and hire with confidence
- ✓ Skilled youth found, hired, and paid fairly
From invisible skill to verified profile
Build your profile
Tag your skills, add photos of work you've completed, and set your location — TVET, apprenticeship, or self-taught, it all counts.
Get verified
Peers, mentors, and training institutions confirm what you can do. Every completed job adds to your reliability score.
Get discovered
Employers search by skill, location, and rating — and reach out directly. No CV, no gatekeeping.
