Empowering TVET institutions, transforming futures.
The Dual TVET Academy, established by the Kenya School of TVET (KSTVET), is a national capacity-building hub dedicated to strengthening the quality and relevance of Technical and Vocational Education and Training in Kenya.
A national hub for industry-driven dual training.
The Academy equips TVET institutions with the skills, knowledge and resources they need to design and deliver inclusive, industry-driven dual training programmes that empower young women and men for meaningful employment.
It is a Kenyan initiative, proudly led by KSTVET, and its establishment has been made possible with the support of international cooperation partners including GIZ. That support complements Kenya's long-term commitment to building a skilled and competitive workforce.
