The Kenyan government has embarked on a significant investment drive in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) as the sector celebrates its centenary, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi announced yesterday.

Speaking at a commemorative event in Nairobi, Mudavadi outlined the administration’s comprehensive strategy to modernise TVET infrastructure, aimed at fostering regional development and addressing economic disparities across the country.

“We have invested heavily in upgrading and equipping TVET institutions with cutting-edge machinery and technology,” Mudavadi told attendees. “This ensures that Kenyans trained in these skills are not only nationally relevant but globally competitive.”

The government’s initiative is part of a broader plan to tackle youth unemployment, a persistent challenge in the East African nation. By enhancing the quality and relevance of vocational training, authorities hope to create a more skilled workforce capable of meeting both local industry needs and international labour market demands.

A key aspect of the strategy has been the mainstreaming of TVET programmes to accommodate differently-abled trainees. This push for inclusivity has yielded impressive results, with recent data showing a 51 per cent increase in overall enrolment. Student numbers have jumped from 250,733 to 380,638, reflecting growing confidence in the sector’s ability to provide valuable, market-ready skills.

The centenary celebrations come at a time when Kenya, like many developing economies, is grappling with the challenge of aligning education outputs with rapidly evolving industry requirements. Mudavadi emphasised the ongoing efforts to bridge this gap, highlighting collaborations with private sector partners to ensure curriculum relevance.
