The Kiambu Youth and Education departments have partnered with a private company to train 1,200 youth, women and people living with disability.
They were trained at the Ndumberi polytechnic.
Speaking on Thursday while presenting certificates of participation Governor William Kabogo said the skills will help them start businesses.
The county government partnered with Alibhai Shariff Company, which trained them on welding, plumbing, metal work, woodwork, painting and masonry.
Kabogo said those trained are eligible to apply for Biashara Fund and start small businesses.
“We trained women, youth and persons living with disability on technical skills for free,” Kabogo said.
He said the training will prepare them to be self-employed.
