Episode Summary
In this episode we set the context for energy in Kenya and why the AWE Initiative had to come in play.
The AWE Initiative is here to offer you a megaphone to tell and show the market what you’re great at. Energy auditors, facility managers and administrative bodies in the energy and water sectors will benefit most from this initiative.
The major deliberations from this were:
* Kenya and the larger East Africa region are quickly transforming their energy sectors* There is an immense shortage of energy professionals, especially energy auditors to meet the market demand* Awareness on energy is still low and that’s where the opportunity for pros like you to step in presents itself* Whoever creates valuable content will have the market trust. We want you to come top in your specific niche, be it in energy or water, or other related utilities
