Public Service CS Moses Kuria meets with Uasin Gishu Governor Jonathan Bii at the County Headquarters in Eldoret to discuss a strategic partnership for youth empowerment. During the meeting on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, the leaders finalized plans to convert 13 Vocational Training Centres (VTCs) across the county into National Youth Service (NYS) hubs. Under this “NYS-VTC Mashinani” framework, the National Government will provide instructors and modern equipment, while the County Government will enhance the physical infrastructure. The CS noted that these centers will serve as specialized training grounds for technical skills and digital jobs, doubling as recruitment centers for labor export to countries like Saudi Arabia, Germany, and Australia. Governor Bii lauded the move as a “turning point” for the county’s 13 centers, stating that the collaboration will bridge the funding and equipping gaps that have long hindered vocational training at the ward level.
