The Ministry of Education Cabinet Secretary, Julius Ogamba, has called on skilled youth to seek foreign jobs as a measure to tackle the unemployment in the country.
Ogamba noted that the current Technical and Vocational education plays a key role in improving the economy of a country.
Speaking while congratulating grandaunts at Ol'lessos National Polytechnic in Nandi County, CS Ogamba divulged that the Kenya Kwanza government recognises the importance of Technical and Vocational Training Colleges (TVETs) in equipping the youth with the necessary technical skills and attitudes to enable them to compete in the employment market as well as create self-employment.
He further revealed that the Ministry has put in place a competence-based TVET curriculum that provides a dual training Policy, where trainees spend 50% of their study in college, whereas the other 50% is spent in the industry, where they acquire the necessary practical skills in the area of specialisation, thus making them fit for even the foreign employment market.
