Kenya Education for Employment Program (KEFEP) 

 

KEFEP is an initiative focused on strengthening and supporting technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in Kenya. In partnership with the Ministry of Education and in collaboration with key industry representatives, KEFEP will work with national polytechnics across Kenya to develop new or enhanced competency-based programs in the agriculture and energy sectors in order to increase employment and economic development opportunities for Kenyan youth.

 

KEFEP will develop institutional partnerships between Kenyan TVET institutions and agencies and Canadian colleges and institutes to:

(1)   Improve the quality and relevance of skills training programs at Kenyan TVET Institutions

(2)   Increase the effectiveness of Kenyan TVET institutions in delivering accessible and gender-responsive skills training programs that meet industry needs

(3)   Increase the effectiveness of Kenyan agencies in implementing TVET reform

(4)   Increase economic opportunities for male and female graduates from TVET institutions in Kenya.

 

These efforts are intended to create a supply of skilled workers to respond to the needs of in-demand sectors in Kenya and to ensure that graduates benefit from related economic opportunities either as employees or entrepreneurs.
