TVET Placement

In technical colleges, over 100,000 state-sponsored slots have been identified for placement for diploma and certificate courses.

This will be the third cohort of students sponsored by the government to pursue courses in mid-level colleges.

The students also get capitation and are entitled to student loans.

The placement comes at a unique time the sector is facing uncertainty over shutdown to stem the spread of the coronavirus.

In May, Education CS George Magoha asked universities to contact the new students, give them joining instructions and fast-track the start of their academic journey.

KUCCPS will place all those with C+ (plus) and above to universities to pursue degree courses.

Magoha said admission to universities will not be affected.

This means the students will join the respective institutions in September.

University of Nairobi, Jkuat, and Mount Kenya University were the biggest winners in terms of enrolment numbers.
