The Rift Valley National Polytechnic (RVNP) will retool 46 driving instructors drawn from various Vocational Training Centers (VTCs) operated by the County Government of Nakuru as part of a broader effort to improve the quality of driving instruction and enhance road safety in the country.
The initiative whose primary focus is enhanced competence and improved ethical conduct of driving instructors that is in turn expected to yield more skilled and responsible drivers, resulting in fewer accidents and fatalities has received support from Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICAN).
County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Education, ICT and e-Government Ms Zipporah Ngugi said the up-skilling will be of great impact to the county as it will build the capacity of VTC instructors in delivering quality and relevant training to the young people in the Vocational Training Centres.
Ms Ngugi indicated the collaborative initiative between RVNP, the County Government and CICAN will ensure that all the devolved unit's 11 sub-counties have access to trained instructors, thereby increasing the availability of driving courses and fostering self-reliance, strengthening vocational education in the VTCs.
