Africa Tech Challenge is changing lives by helping Kenyans better their skills.
The ATC, hosted by Chinese Firm AVIC International Holding Corporation has proved to be a bridge for low and semi-skilled youths wanting to grow in their careers.
At least 15 ATC participants have been offered a scholarship to study in China while 45 have been offered internships and jobs.
Among those who have benefited is Paul Mbutu Warutere, who worked as a technical worker at a local tea factory.
He won a chance to study at one of China's top learning institutions, Beihang University where he earned a master's Degree.
"Studying in China has broadened my horizons and brought me closer to global trends.
It gave me confidence that I could easily adapt to working worldwide by experiencing different cultures." Mbutu said regarding the program
Kenyan Polytechnic Student Grace Kenderi Bulimu also benefited from the program.
This was after she emerged top in the sixth ATC competition emboldening her dream to become a mechanical engineer.
The ATC competition's objective is to help African youth master technical skills, promote job opportunities, and stick to the belief that hard work is key to building their dreams.
The competition has been held seven times since 2014 with the latest season ending in November.
Trainees with notable performances in ATC contests are rewarded with the opportunity to study in China and win working contracts.
