Technical, Vocational Education, and Training (TVET) sector is set for a major boost thanks to the partnership between the Kenyan and Chinese governments.
Ezekiel Machogu says TVET is a powerful tool to prepare the youth for the labour market and provide lifelong learning opportunities to adults.
PS Raymond Omollo said joining TVET institutions will equip the youth with skills which will enhance economic growth and create jobs in the country.
The government will provide technical and financial support to training institutions in areas of tertiary and technical skills in a bid to enhance quality of graduates.
The conventional white-collar jobs that were once the epitome of success no longer hold the same appeal in today’s job market.
The Lyon competition will be the inaugural competition for Kenya with 10 competitors in eight skills representing the country.
