I attended a recent youth vocational training expo in Nairobi dubbed ‘Hands on the Future Kenya Skills Show – 2019’ organised by the Permanent Working Group (PWG) on TVET in Kenya.
The event sought to promote technical and vocational training and by extension change the youth’s mindset towards TVET opportunities. As I visited the stands, several questions ran through my mind, including whether a bias against vocational jobs is keeping our young people unemployed.
