Bundi termed the training a game changer and revealed that plans are underway to expand it to other regions in the County with a target of between 100-200 youth being beneficiaries.

He also noted that applications of Virtual Reality Technology in training technical skills will reduce the cost of training materials and ignite curiosity among trainees as they study using modern teaching methods.
