NMG Higher Education Fair and skills expo

AG German Institute recently participated in two events: the Career Week 2025 at Kenyatta University on January 28th-29th and the Higher Education Fair and Skills Expo 2025 on January 30th-31st organized by Nation Media Group at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre, Nairobi. These events provided an excellent opportunity for us to engage with students, particularly high school graduates, and showcase the unique programs we offer.

As the leading language school in Kenya, AG German Institute is dedicated to providing top-tier German language education. Our goal is to equip students with the linguistic and cultural knowledge required to explore opportunities such as the Ausbildung (Vocational Training) program in Germany. Through these career fairs, we had the chance to inform and inspire young minds about how they can build a successful career path in Germany through our German language courses and vocational training opportunities.

With Germany’s aging population and increasing demand for skilled professionals, Ausbildung has become a pathway to secure employment and a promising career for many international students. Kenya’s youth have an excellent opportunity to take advantage of this program and build their futures in a thriving economy.
