President William Ruto has pledged to expand the Kenya School of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Moiben Campus and build student hostels as the government seeks to increase the supply of trainers for technical colleges.

Ruto made the pledge during the opening of the campus in Moiben, Uasin Gishu County, the first of its kind outside Nairobi. The institution will train instructors who will equip young people with practical skills for employment and entrepreneurship.

The President said the government would expand the campus to increase its capacity to train more professionals.

The institution is expected to strengthen technical training by preparing trainers to pass on skills needed in the labour market and support enterprise development.
