Career guidance that tells young people the truth.
Yibuka is a Kenya-first platform that helps 16- to 26-year-olds, and the parents guiding them, choose a career direction with evidence instead of pressure.
What Yibuka is
A free career assessment, a Kenya-localised career library, study-route guides, and practical money and life-skills lessons. One place for the whole school-to-work transition, written in plain language.
Who it serves
Young people from 16 choosing or changing direction, and the parents and guardians who want to support that choice without taking it over. Under 18, an account needs a parent or guardian's confirmation before anything personal is saved. Parent accounts and the parent guide in every premium report exist because the decision is rarely made alone.
What's free, what's paid
All career information is free: guides, study routes, money and life-skills lessons, and the first assessment. You pay only for personal interpretation, with in-depth reports unlocked individually via M-Pesa and each covered by the refund policy.
How partners fit in
Institutions and employers pay to be discovered through listings, referrals and clearly labelled sponsored content. That's what keeps learning free, and every partnership must serve the young person first.
Principles we hold ourselves to
A guidance platform earns trust by what it refuses to do, not just by what it builds.
- Guidance, never guarantees. No promise of admission, employment or income, ever.
- Plain language. If a young person can't understand it, it doesn't ship.
- Your result belongs to you. Assessments describe strengths; they don't assign destinies.
- Paid means clearly paid. Prices in shillings before you confirm, and sponsored content always labelled.
- A payment that doesn't deliver gets unlocked or refunded. No exceptions.
The best introduction is the product itself.
Take the free assessment. In about ten minutes you'll see how Yibuka gives guidance: honestly, in plain language, with your next steps attached.
