Director General, Technical and Vocational Education Training Authority (TVETA)

“Everyone wants to go to the university, but where are the jobs? We need career services to redirect interest. Our statistics show that for every university student, we need five learners in TVET institutions. The reason is that the world job market is in dire need of technical skills. The 17% unemployment rate in Kenya is a result of our failure to redirect careers. Therefore, we need to identify career paths and opportunities that are likely to bring employment.”
