The State Department for Labour and Skills Development is mandated to oversee skills development among actors and establish and manage institutional frameworks for linking industry skills development and training. The Department has developed the Eagles Nest TV program in collaboration with the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation, Kenyatta University, Kenya Industrial Property Institute and the National Youth Enterprise Fund. The goal of the program is to empower young innovators to commercialise their innovations and thus become innovations-driven entrepreneurs towards enhancing their employability and productivity.
Just like eagles, the project focuses on incubating startups and nurturing them, providing the necessary support to help them spread their wings and soar in the market. Baby eagle's are thrown out the nest to fly. The show recognizes that not all startups will survive the challenges they face, but we encourage participants to embrace adversity, learn from it, and emerge stronger. Eagles are renowned for their strength, agility, and majesty. Similarly, The Eagle's Nest brings together the biggest names in the business world to serve as judges and investors.
The Eagle's Nest is a business reality TV show targeting youth aged 18- 35 years. The show is based on self-employment through innovation and entrepreneurship. It will take up a competitive format with elimination at different stages of the show and a prize fund of Kshs. 5,000,000
