State Department of Labour and Skills Development PS Geoffrey Kaituko and leaders from Turkana County are collaborating to address the high rate of unemployment among youth through advocating for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).

Kaituko, who on Wednesday met leaders and youth from Kalemnyang, Lorugum, Kakuma, Kalokol and Eliye centres in Turkana, said that TVET institutions offer technical skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (Stem) courses that are marketable.
