The TVET Programme

Re-skill and re-tool for seamless manufacturing processes

Driving the Skills Agenda for Kenya

The KAM TVET program addresses the mismatch between technical training and industry needs. By aligning technical and vocational education with real-time labor market demands, we are building a skilled and future-ready workforce that drives Kenya’s industrial growth.

We partner with government, training institutions, and manufacturers to:

  • Develop industry-relevant curricula
  • Promote workplace-based learning (internships, apprenticeships)
  • Upskill trainers and build capacity across the TVET ecosystem

This collaborative approach ensures that manufacturers access a competent work-ready talent pool while young people gain practical, market-ready skills—creating a win-win for Kenya’s economic development.
