He further reiterated that Committees are the vessels through which the Authority will gather relevant information and knowledge, achieve expertise, forge collaboration and attain standards in order to provide commendable service to NITAs stakeholders and enhance our brand as a customer-oriented organization.
Mr. Kosgei noted that most Sectors had already began the task of collecting Training Needs assessment, which will later be used for purposes of developing market-oriented curricula. Other Sectors have also embarked on developing occupational competency standards for selected skill areas.
The events also saw different department in NITA present their reports starting with the Finance department followed by the Levy, and Industrial training departments respectively.
The industrial training report covered three main areas which included industrial attachments, apprenticeship, indentured leadership, research and curriculum development, industry-based training and accreditation as well as assessment and certification.
