Day 2-Tvet @ 100 Celebration; Tour of Embu County
The auspicious day was flagged off by the Embu County Deputy Governor Hon. Justus Mugo.
In his remarks, the Deputy Governor, pointed out that TVET at 100 is a sensitization drive, a
Noble idea by the president of the republic of Kenya, His excellency, Dr. William Ruto.
It is pertinent that we advocate for Tvet in the country and all around the globe.
With white collar jobs not available in the country, the TVET space opens doors for capacity and skills learning.
Embu County is currently collaborating with the industry players to open up space for skill-based learning.
