It is a fully registered, accredited, and licensed public Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institution operating under the Ministry of Education's State Department for Technical and Vocational Education and Training, and regulated by the TVET Authority.
Established as part of a government initiative to ensure that each constituency in Kenya has a technical and vocational college, the institution aims to enhance youth access to quality, skill-based training that contributes to national development through employment and entrepreneurship. Since opening its doors in 2018, the college has steadily grown, supported by a committed management team and the Board of Governors.
The first cohort of 20 students was admitted in October 2018 to programmes in electrical engineering, social work and community development, ICT, business, supply chain management, and accounting. Today, the college exclusively offers modularised technical and business courses through the Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET) model across Levels 3, 4, 5, and 6, emphasising hands-on, practical skill development aligned with industry needs.
