The youth have been called upon to enroll in Technical and Vocational Training Centers TVC,S in large numbers.
Prof Kukubo Barasa the Board Chairman Of Sirisia TVC in Bungoma while making the call noted that Technical Training education is the only sure bet to curb the increasing rate of unemployment among the young people in Kenya.
Prof Barasa who was speaking at the institution during a student’s sensitization programme said the notion that enrolling for TVET Courses is a reserve for failures in National exams has led to many unemployed graduates who are still tarmacking looking for white collar job opportunities which are currently diminishing.
The scholar notes that Technical skills will also help government in bridging the unemployment gap in the country, but it will only depend on whether the Ministry of Education will pump more resources into the TVET Institutions to equip them with requisite materials and laboratories.
In terms of the new Funding Model the Chief Principal of Sirisia TVC Mr Herbart Wanyonyi Musuya said through its four categories many students are set to benefit from it especially in Technical Training.
