TECHNICAL EDUCATION IS THE MASTER KEY
Indeed if education is the key to success, then technical education is the master key to steer Kericho County to greater heights of socio-economic development. In our dream to attain first world country status and be like Singapore, indeed, technical education plays a key role in the journey.
H.E. Dr Erick K. Mutai (PhD) is a strong believer in education as an equalizer. Several targeted investments in Vocational Training Centres now numbering 13 in Kericho have yielded fruits. Furthermore, the strategic partnership with KCB Foundation in the Equalizer Scholarships Programme has seen the annual graduation of more than 10,000 students from our VTCs.
Equally, most of the graduates have been able to get jobs locally and abroad given their competitive technical skills. The Programme also through its component of awarding toolkits for varied trades including welding and fabrication, food and beverage production, hairdressing and beauty, electrical installation, masonry, plumbing, motor vehicle mechanics, etc. has seen many young people empowered to open up their small business and become self reliant.
Indeed, this is a transformative programme under H.E. Dr. Eric K. Mutai (PhD), Governor, Kericho.
