Entrepreneurship
TotalEnergies Marketing Kenya under the TotalEnergies Young Dealer Program gives business opportunities to young Kenyans with capital support for station dealership while they gain the experience and stand-alone financial strength to stand on their own.
The careers of service station staff chosen for this programme are developed through training with the aim of becoming independent financial dealers over time, through disciplined savings of part of their profits, towards building their working capital. This model continues to produce business in our industry which was expanded in 2017 and will continue to receive our support as a way to invest in human capital in the local community.
