The allocation of university and technical training college courses is out.

The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service data further indicates that 2,632 students who scored C+ and above opted for technical training instead of pursuing degree programmes.

However, the training should not only be tailored to meet the high demand but also be market-driven and relevant to the public and private sectors’ needs.

Poor planning and delivery of the training would only add to the growing number of university and technical college graduates ill-prepared for modern jobs as well as self-employment or entrepreneurship.
