Hey,

Welcome to Green Jobs Rising!

As the year winds down, there are still excellent events to help you finish strong. 

If you are in Kenya and keen to grow your network, Africa EV Mobility Expo Kenya 2025 runs from 4–6 Dec 2025.

What you will gain from attending:

• Upgrade your skills: Get a front-row look at new EVs, batteries, charging and software, then turn those insights into talking points for interviews, client pitches and performance reviews.

• Build a real network: Meet manufacturers, startups, utilities and city teams, collect useful contacts and book follow-up chats that can lead to internships, roles or side projects.

• Learn what employers want: Sit in on forums to hear how African teams are deploying EVs, which roles are hiring and which skills, tools and certifications will put you ahead.

• Stand out online: Share thoughtful takeaways on LinkedIn and tag speakers and brands to grow your visibility and attract recruiters.
