Lamu Governor H.E Issa Timamy EGH, OGW has reiterated his commitment towards ensuring Technical and Vocational Training Centers continue offering market driven courses since this is where skills training is conducted to match the labour market.

The ANC party leader said this on Thursday afternoon at Kizingitini where he conducted an inspection and assessment tour of Lamu East Technical and Vocational College ahead of official opening by President Dr. William Ruto on Saturday this week.

Governor Timamy further emphasized the need for TVET’s to shift from a theory based curriculum to competency based training that equips youths with hands-on experience to fill the skill gaps that exist within the community.

The Governor was accompanied by Lamu East MP Hon. Ruweida Obo, County Secretary Amb. Ali Abbas, Chief of Staff Mr. Abdulnasir Issa, Chief Officer Mr. Shariff Kamalu among others.
