The training will be undertaken in Teso North and NITA will take the role of Quality Assurance as well as Assessment and Certification.
The Programme was officially launched on 30th October 2020 by the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Labour and Social Protection Hon. Simon Chelugui at Chamasiri Technical Vocational Centre, Teso North, Busia County. Principle Secretary State Department for Labour Eng. Peter Tum was also present. In his remarks, the Cabinet Secretary noted that it was an opportune time to invest in the country’s youth bulge, as the Ministry had developed a number of Programmes targeted at harnessing the skills of the youth in Kenya. He also reiterated through partnerships such as this, Kenya has the potential to unleash new economic possibilities created by future industries and labour markets, dramatically raising labour productivity and per capita incomes, diversifying its economy, and becoming an engine for stable economic growth, high-skilled talent and job creation for decades to come.
The place of partnership in NITA quality service delivery cannot be over-emphasized, and the Authority is focussed on supplying the skills required by industry for national development. This will propel Kenya closer to our objective of becoming a globally competitive and prosperous nation by the year 2030 as envisioned in the Kenya Vision 2030 and the Big Four Agenda which lays the foundation for industrialization and improvement of the Kenyan economy through systemic and well-coordinated programmes.
