Kenya signs recruitment deal with UK Crown dependencies

Kenya has signed a new recruitment agreement with the UK Crown Dependencies—Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man—creating more job opportunities for skilled Kenyan workers. Announced on May 20, 2025, the deal aims to address workforce shortages in the Crown Dependencies while helping reduce unemployment in Kenya.

The agreement targets key sectors such as healthcare, hospitality, construction, and agriculture. These areas have seen a growing demand for skilled labor, especially after the effects of Brexit. Kenyan professionals will now have access to structured employment opportunities abroad, with clearly defined job terms and legal protections under both Kenyan and UK regulations.

Labor and Social Protection Cabinet Secretary Florence Bore emphasized that all recruitment processes will be transparent and fair. The government has committed to upholding ethical standards and protecting workers from exploitation. The deal also ensures that Kenyans employed through this program will benefit from safe working environments and proper remuneration.

The Crown Dependencies, while closely linked to the UK, manage their own immigration and employment policies. Their increasing labor needs have made them more willing to engage with international partners. For Kenya, this agreement is part of a broader strategy to expand foreign job markets for its citizens. Similar deals have already been signed with Germany and Saudi Arabia in recent years.

This move is expected to have a positive economic impact. Remittances from Kenyans working abroad are a major source of foreign income. As more citizens gain employment overseas, their families benefit financially, and the country gains increased foreign exchange reserves.

While the deal is promising, experts stress the importance of investing in skills training and preparation. Proper orientation and development programs will help ensure Kenyan workers meet the expectations of international employers and thrive in their new environments.

Overall, this recruitment deal signals Kenya’s continued efforts to provide employment solutions beyond its borders. By connecting skilled workers with global opportunities, the country is not only reducing unemployment but also strengthening its international relationships and boosting the economy
