Welcome to NEA
We connect Kenyans with decent work at home and abroad, and help employers find the skills they need.
About the Authority
The National Employment Authority (NEA) was established in April 2016 by an Act of Parliament (the National Employment Authority Act, 2016), which provided the legal framework and mandate for its operations. The Authority was created out of the then National Employment Bureau (NEB), a department in the Ministry of East African Community, Labour and Social Protection. It provides a comprehensive institutional framework for employment management, enhancement of employment promotion interventions, and increasing access to employment by the youth, minorities and marginalised groups.
