TVET graduates in Kenya will be monitored for up to three years after leaving college, with institutions checking every six months whether they found jobs, started businesses or remain unemployed.
John Wamae, the Coast regional TVET director, said the tracing program is meant to show whether training matches labour-market demand and to flag courses that fail to lead to work or entrepreneurship.
At Taita Taveta National Polytechnic's graduation, Wamae urged the 1,780 graduands to keep in touch with trainers and use their technical skills to create businesses rather than wait indefinitely for formal jobs.
The tracking plan fits broader government reforms pushing TVET colleges toward measurable outcomes, including employment, productivity and closer industry links under CBET and the dual training model.
