The government has released Sh1.192 billion to Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions nationwide.
In a statement on Wednesday, TVET PS Esther Muoria said it is a major boost for TVET institutions providing crucial support for tuition, training materials, utilities and curricula activities.
"The injection of resources aims to foster an environment conducive to effective learning and skill acquisition. With the focus being on enhancing accessibility and elevating the quality and relevance of TVET, the funds will be channelled into various initiatives," she said.
The initiatives include providing financial assistance to individual trainees, a move designed to empower aspiring professionals in various fields.
She said the government's unwavering commitment to delivering employable skills through TVET underscores its dedication to supporting key economic sectors.
Muoria said the strategic investment aligns with broader goals such as reducing youth unemployment and driving sustainable economic growth.
The funding ensures the current TVET trainees have ample opportunities for success within and beyond the institution, emphasising the inclusive principle of training for everyone.
