Talanta Hela Digital Hub
Talanta Hela Digital Hub is a government-funded initiative that aims to identify, recruit, nurture, and monetize talents in both sports and the creative industry. The hub was launched in October 2023 by the former Cabinet Secretary for Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports, Ababu Namwamba.
The hub is located in Nairobi, Kenya, and it is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including a sports arena, a recording studio, and a film studio. The hub also provides a variety of training and mentorship programs to help young talents develop their skills and careers.
The Talanta Hela Digital Hub is part of the government’s bottom-up economic transformation agenda. The government believes that by investing in youth talent, it can create jobs and boost economic growth.
The hub has already had a positive impact on the lives of many young people in Kenya. For example, the hub has helped to identify and recruit talented athletes who have gone on to represent Kenya at international competitions. The hub has also helped to nurture the talents of young musicians, filmmakers, and other creatives.
The Talanta Hela Digital Hub is a valuable resource for young people in Kenya who are looking to pursue a career in sports or the creative industry. The hub provides the opportunity for young people to develop their skills, gain exposure, and connect with potential mentors and employers.
