Abstract:
The Kenyan Governments’ vision 2030 plan seeks to make Kenya a middle level industrialized nation and improve the
economic and social status of its citizens. The realization of this vision will be achieved with adequate human resource at
the technology, technician and artisan levels of skill training. Technical Training institutions (TTIs) are charged with the
responsibility to train technicians and artisans. Concerns have been raised on the quality and quantity of the graduates
coming out of these training institutions. The current study sought to investigate strategies that should be put in place to
enhance the training in TTIs. A descriptive survey research design was used for this study with heads of academic
departments and students as respondents. Questionnaires and interview schedules were used for data collection. The
study established that training was conducted with inadequate teaching staff and obsolete equipments. The study
recommends that adequate staff should be hired in training institutions and programmes put in place to upgrade the skills
and knowledge of trainers in light of changing technology. Training facilities in the training institutions should urgently
be upgraded.
