Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo has highlighted the Government’s investment in technical and vocational education as a key driver of skills development, employment and national economic growth.
Omollo cited P.C. Kinyanjui Technical Training Institute (PCKTTI) in Dagoretti South as part of efforts to equip young Kenyans with practical, relevant and marketable skills through expanded training infrastructure.
The institute has received a Government-delivered 15-classroom block expected to increase its capacity to admit and train more students while easing congestion in learning spaces.
Established in 1979 as a technical secondary school in line with the vision of Kenya’s first President, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, the institution was upgraded to a Technical Training Institute in 1987.
PCKTTI offers programmes ranging from Artisan and Craft Certificate courses to diplomas in mechanical, automotive, electrical, electronic and civil engineering.
Other courses include catering, food and beverage production, institutional management, applied sciences, supply chain management, business management and accountancy.
The institution also operates a Jitume Lab in partnership with Ajira Digital, providing young people with digital skills, including artificial intelligence graphic design.
Omollo said developing a skilled workforce was essential to supporting employment, entrepreneurship and efficient public service delivery.
The investment forms part of broader efforts to strengthen Kenya’s human capital and prepare young people for opportunities across traditional industries and the digital economy.
