Specialist in Agriculture and Training
The Government of Kenya is committed to promoting Technical and Vocational Education and Train ing (TVET), as stipulated in Article 55 of the Constitution. The goal is to provide quality education that equips learners with skills for global competitiveness. However, the implementation of this goal faces several challenges. Demographic changes have led to increased demand for training, requiring the government to rapidly expand its training capacity. Other significant challenges include limited financial resources, low teaching quality, insufficient reliable and aggregated data for decision-making, weak linkages between training and labour market needs, an overly theoretical orientation of many programmes, and the low income generated by most training institutions.

The county intends to transform some of these VTCs into "Centres of Vocational Expertise" (CoVEs), each specialising in one or two priority professions. Smart specialisation is a defining characteristic of a CoVEx. It emphasises the strategic focus on high-impact sectors and technologies that align with regional economic priorities. CoVEx institutions integrate their training programmes into broader innovation ecosystems, thereby maximising eco nomic impact and improving graduate employability.
