@ntvkenya As a skills expert, RPL should primarily be understood as a social justice mechanism—one designed to promote inclusivity by recognising skills acquired through informal and non-formal pathways.

RPL is about skills, not academic knowledge.

@MwendeLinai @Kiptoock Good work.
Keep it up

This morning I was priviledged to launch the Youth Employment Innovation Multidonor Trust Fund（YEI-MDTF） Grant Project by the African Development Bank (AFDB)

This project, supported by AfDB under the GoK/AfDB "Support to TVET and Entrepreneurship (TVETE) Phase III project, will be implemented by the State Department for TVET in collaboration with the Kenya Private Sector Alliance （KEPSA）and will see the capacity building of TVET trainees for growth, stability and sustainability of youth entreprises while also improving TVET - Industry linkage through mentorship and training in job readiness and entrepreneurship.

On behalf of the Government, I applaud the AfDB for the extensive support it has offered to the TVET sector in the last 15 years.

My sincere appreciation to the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) for coming on board to support the TVET sector.

@kcbmpesa STOP SENDING ME THOSE MESSAGES.
I give you my money for a year, say KES 50,000, you promise to give me a paltry KES 3,175.
I take your money -50,000, without shame want to take 54,900 from me. #FinancialFreedom cannot be attained with these skewed financial systems.

Met with the Colleges and Institutes Canada (CiCan), led by Aggrey Ndombi, the Senior Technical Advisor/CiCan Representative in Kenya, together with Movitz Schimt, CiCan Manager of Operations in Canada, who is visiting Kenya.

CiCan is implementing the TVET-Young Africa Works (TVET-YAW) and Kenya Blue Economy Skills Project (KBEST) in the State Department.

I expressed my gratitude for the work already done in the TVET space by CiCan. Key among them is the training of TVET trainers on CBET delivery methodologies, the development of our 102 CBET curricula, and the establishment of centers of excellence in 24 TVET colleges, among other interventions.

I joined the Industrial Linkages Officers Workshop organized by Colleges and Institutes Canada, Implementors of the Young Africa Works Kenya Program of the MasterCard Foundation.

The workshop aims at providing learning avenues for feasible practices and solutions towards achieving impactful CBET industry engagement outcomes.

For CBET to bring forth the desired outcomes, there must be a robust industry linkage framework in place.

Earlier today during launch of TVET Trainers' CBET Delivery Methodologies Training at the Sigalagala National Polytechnic, I re-emphasized that TVET institutions must henceforth depart from supply-driven to demand-driven competency-based training and assessment. This Training, also happening in five other National Polytechnics is supported by the Mastercard Foundation and implemented by CiCAN and the Kenya School of TVET (KSTVET).
Appreciation to the development partners @Mastercard Foundation and @ CiCAN and @Kenya School of TVET for working with SD, TVET in fulfilling the goal of re-skilling TVET trainers.
