Dear Team,

As we commemorate this year’s Labour Day, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to each of you for your dedication, commitment, and the vital role you play in shaping the future of Laikipia County.

Your tireless efforts in delivering quality education, empowering vocational skills, and promoting access to knowledge through our libraries are making a real difference in the lives of our people. You are not only building careers—you are building communities.

This year’s theme reminds us of a crucial principle: self-reliance in production fuels economic growth.
As a department, we are at the heart of this vision. By nurturing local talent, fostering innovation, and supporting lifelong learning, we are laying the groundwork for a self-sustaining and empowered society.

Let’s continue to work together with purpose, unity, and passion. Your efforts matter, and together, we will continue to inspire positive change across Laikipia.

Wishing you all a restful and proud Labour Day.

Today, at the World Day for Safety and Health at Work 2025 commemorated at the Governor's Ground in Laikipia County, the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection, Dr. Alfred Mutua , Ph.D., E.G.H, reaffirmed the Government of Kenya’s steadfast commitment to protecting the rights, safety, and dignity of all workers. His message, delivered by Principal Secretary Shadrack Mwadime, emphasized the central role of safe working environments in building a resilient and inclusive economy.

The event also showcased the launch of the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) latest report, "Revolutionising Health and Safety: The Role of AI and Digitalisation at Work."
The report highlights how technological advancements are reshaping global occupational health and safety standards, offering new opportunities to enhance worker protection.

Dr. Mutua stressed that promoting safe and healthy workplaces is fundamental to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG 8) — advancing decent work and inclusive economic growth. He called upon all stakeholders — including governments, industries, and workers — to embrace innovation, compliance, and partnerships in cultivating safer, more inclusive workspaces for youth, women, men, and persons with disabilities.

Laikipia County Governor, H.E Joshua Irungu, EGH , echoed these sentiments by pledging to strengthen county frameworks for occupational safety, enhance workplace inspections, and roll out awareness campaigns across different sectors.

Both the National and County Governments reaffirmed their joint commitment to fostering workplaces that uphold human dignity, protect lives, and enhance productivity, setting Kenya firmly on the path toward a safer, healthier, and more prosperous future.

The occasion served as a powerful reminder of our collective duty to protect our most important asset — our workforce.

As the Fourth Industrial Revolution progresses, technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, automation, machine learning, and cloud computing are rapidly transforming industries from agriculture and healthcare to manufacturing and education. While these innovations present tremendous opportunities for growth, they also pose new challenges in ensuring the safety, health, and wellbeing of workers.

It is essential that the adoption of digital tools and AI not compromise the humanization of the workplace. Instead, technology should be leveraged to create safer, more inclusive, and globally competitive work environments.

As the Department of Education, Vocational Training and Library Services, we commit to:
》Integrating occupational safety and health education into vocational and technical training curricula.
》Equipping learners with digital skills that promote safe engagement with emerging technologies in the workplace.
》Promoting awareness on the importance of workplace health and safety through libraries and community outreach programs.
》Partnering with industries to offer internships and training opportunities focused on safe work practices in the era of digitalization and AI.
》Advocating for the inclusion of persons with disabilities, youth, and women in safety-centered vocational education initiatives.

Together, through education, innovation, and collaboration, we will prepare our workforce to thrive safely in a rapidly evolving world of work.

With the able guidance of Centre Manager Mr. Ouma, the team assessed key milestones—from student enrollment to quality training standards that ensure every learner is empowered to thrive.

What stood out was more than just data—it was the dedication of trainers, the energy of learners, and the sight of modern classrooms rising, brick by brick. Thanks to the unwavering support of H.E. Governor Joshua Irungu, EGH and CECM Stephen Kisorio , Wiyumiririe VTC is fast becoming a beacon of hope.

Investing in Youth, Shaping a Skilled Future!

What if every young person had the right skill to turn their passion into a profession?

Laikipia County under the leadership of the Governor Joshua Irungu, EGH is committed to ensuring youth access quality vocational training, unlocking opportunities for income generation and career growth. By mobilizing resources and diversifying funding, we are building a sustainable VET ecosystem that empowers the next generation.

Today at Maranatha in Nyahururu, the Chief Officer Jecinta Koree (Department of Education, Vocational Training & Library Services) joined stakeholders in a crucial meeting focused on drafting the Vocational Education and Training (VET) policy. The discussions centered on how best to strengthen the socio-economic impact of VET and ensure Laikipia youth are equipped with relevant, market-ready skills.

This policy will be a game-changer—designed to guide investment, support training institutions, and drive youth towards meaningful employment and income-generating opportunities.

"Education is more than learning—it’s a launchpad for opportunity. When we invest in skills, we shape destinies!"

So, the real question is—will we watch the potential of our youth fade, or will we fuel it into a force for the future?
