Nakuru County Government is working with the National Government and other stakeholders in strengthening technical and vocational education to enhance the country's capacity to offer practical training that would accelerate economic growth.
County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Education Ms Zipporah Wambui said the objective of the collaboration was to use the power of technical vocational education and training (TVET) to push the potential of young people to positively contribute to economic growth.
The CECM explained that the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) was designed to accelerate economic growth by investing in critical pillars that create employment for millions of skilled youths.
As the County implements policies, programmes and projects which create jobs for the youth, Ms Wambi emphasized the need for the County to simultaneously equip millions of young Kenyans with the education, training and skills necessary to enhance their productivity in a dynamic, globalized and competitive labour market.
