COUNTY SIGNS MoU WITH EMSOS TECHNICAL INSTITUTE
The County Government of Nandi is fostering collaborative relationships with the Technical, Vocational Education, and Training (TVET) institutions in order to tap into the invaluable research and innovations offered by the institutions for transformative economic growth and development.
Today, the County entered into an MoU with Emsos Technical Institute aimed at harnessing the potential of the Institute to meet the demands of a rapidly changing job market.
Speaking during the signing of the MoU held at the Governor’s Boardroom, the County Secretary Dr Francis Sang said the two organizations will work on knowledge sharing and come up with interventions supporting training in Vocational Training Centres (VTCs).
He noted that the mutual areas of collaboration with the county government include provision of a good learning environment for the students from Emsos and allow learners access county facilities for learning purposes.
“The MoU is very crucial as the trainees being attached to our facilities will bring with them requisite expertise from their different fields of training,” said Dr Sang.
On his part, Emsos Technical Institute Principal Mark Kitongo said “Through this initiative, the trainees will be exposed to a working environment where they will acquire more knowledge and skills in their training during the industrial linkages and collaborations with the County Government of Nandi.”
Also present were the CEC Member for Administration, ICT and e-Government Isaiah Ketter, the County Solicitor Advocate Letting and Emmy Lagat EMSOS Institute Industrial and Linkages Officer.
