The delegation visited the institution to gain insights into key areas of TVET centre establishment and management, including institutional governance, infrastructure planning, equipment acquisition and maintenance, quality assurance systems, ICT integration, digital learning, industry partnerships, financial sustainability, and student support systems.

The visit reflected the growing recognition of the Don Bosco TVET model as a benchmark for quality, excellence, and skills development in Kenya and beyond. The delegation expressed admiration for the high standards, professionalism, and holistic approach that continue to define Don Bosco institutions.

We are honoured to contribute to national conversations on strengthening Technical and Vocational Education and Training, and proud to see our institutions serving as a point of reference for public and private sector stakeholders committed to empowering youth through skills.
