The Nakuru County Government is implementing policy guidelines in its Technical Vocational Education and Training institutions (TVET), aimed at promoting access to special needs students to acquire practical skills and knowledge.
County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Education, ICT, and e-government Ms Zipporah Wambui affirmed the County Government's commitment to ensuring that special needs students acquire capabilities that will enable them compete in the labor market fairly.
Ms Wambui emphasized the importance of TVETs in ensuring that differently abled Kenyans acquire the practical skills needed in Kenya's evolving job market.
The CECM spoke when she visited the Nakuru Vocational Training Center in Bondeni where over 100 students with special needs have enrolled in various courses including Fashion and Design, Hairdressing and Beauty Therapy.
