Jiji, has launched a free online course at the Mt. Kenya University in Kenya. The course is meant to help young Kenyans turn business ideas into profitable ventures. Titled “Zero to Profit: The Essentials of Business Building,” the course is tailored for side hustlers, aspiring entrepreneurs, and small business owners looking to grow sustainably in today’s fast-evolving digital economy.
The official launch of Jiji Academy took place at Mount Kenya University, Thika, marking the start of a partnership between Jiji and MKU to drive uptake of the course among students and the wider youth community. The collaboration will be coordinated through the Office of the Academic Director.
At Jiji, our mission has always been to empower people by creating opportunities, not just through our platform, but through meaningful initiatives that address real challenges.
