History of Nuu Technical and Vocational College

Nuu Technical and Vocational College is situated about 1 kilometer from Nuu Town in Nuu Sub County, within Mwingi Central Constituency, Kitui County. It is a public TVET institution operating under the Ministry of Education's State Department for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and regulated by the TVET Authority. The college provides technical and business courses through the Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET) approach, designed to equip students with practical skills.

It was born out of a grand plan by the government of ensuring that at least a technical and vocational college is built in every constituency. The intention therein is to improve on access for the youth in the acquisition of saleable skills that will help improve all sectors of the Kenyan economy through employment and entrepreneurship. The college started its operations in 2018 and has since grown from strength to strength with the support of the management team as well as the Board of Governors.

It admitted its 20 students in October 2018 in electrical engineering, social work and community development, ICT, Business, supply chain management and accounting. Later the college introduced other market-driven courses and currently admission of trainees is under Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET) programmes. CBET courses are offered at levels 3, 4, 5, and 6. NITA courses are also offered for Grade III, II, and I, equipping students with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in their chosen careers.
