Educate Youth; Parents Told

Vocational Education provides youth with applicable knowledge and skills suitable for the present age job market.

The County's Department of Education, Culture, Youth Affairs, Sports and Social Services has intensified campaigns to ensure more youth are enrolled in the available Vocational Training Institutions across the county.

The institutions whose entire functions were completely devolved have in the recent past witnessed a sharp rise in the number of trainees expressing interest to further studies.

There is dire need to ensure more youth are trained since it ensures that they are better placed to earn employment in the current first growing economy as indicated by the department's Executive committee Member Mr.Joseph Kurgat.

"Let us educate our youth, there are industries in our County already established and some yet to be brought up. The industries require technical knowledge and skills and we should desire to educate more youth," says Kurgat.

The County pays more than 50 % of total fees annually hence lessening the parents' burden.

"Every student studying in all our VTCs gets Kshs 15,000 from the County Government and is required to pay Kshs 10,000 only in every year of study," adds Kurgat.

The highly marketable courses offered among others include; Hairdressing, Carpentry, Agribusiness, Building, Technology, Electrical Installation, and also Welding and Fabrication. ... See MoreSee Less
