• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: There was a supplement yesterday on the World Skills Day on why it is important to have more skilled labour because that is where the jobs are. Secondly, we have allocations of up to Kshs30,000 for learners to take the various courses. The time is ripe. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: Many of the developed countries are seeking these skilled laborers from plumbing, hairdressing and carpentry. All these are areas where one can easily get a job or be self-employed. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: What is the labour demand before we can give the supply? We are requesting an analysis of data from our county governments. For example, we had a program called Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) which was a Canadian-Kenya program where there was an element of linking labour demand and supply directly so that you are in communication with the industries and know what they want from the word go. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: In the internship, students are attached in the labour industry. From there, they can learn from the most relevant machines. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: In most of the training centres in some of the vocational training centres, training is based on machinery that was used 10 years ago. If the industry wants 20 plumbers, they can indicate the kind of infrastructure needed, help in that and have some collaboration between the centres and the training so that there is appropriate training. view

• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: They can then hire them immediately after, through internship programs and have them move into their jobs safely. Many countries have been able to do that successfully and it has greatly helped. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: We are also asking on the number of training centres, the Information Technology influence they have, the access and the digital content that they have within the counties. This is very critical because procurement, for example, is being done digitally. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: In one of the Senate Mashinani, I remember the governor that county at that time had started training centres with computers just to make sure the young people can be a step ahead. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: We are also asking them about the strategies and measures they are putting in place to ensure the disadvantaged groups have equal opportunities and access in the centres and across different programs. We are also asking about strategies employed by the county governments to address the existing challenges related to implementation of TIVET policies and legal framework. view
