Kasarani Technical and Vocational College (KTVC)

Kasarani Technical and Vocational College, established in 2015 under the Kenya government's TVET expansion initiative, is a public institution located in Kasarani, Nairobi. Its mission is to provide affordable, quality technical education that equips students with practical skills for the job market.

The college offers a wide range of diploma and certificate programs in engineering, information technology, business studies, applied sciences, and hospitality. With a focus on competency-based education and training (CBET), the institution plays a pivotal role in Kenya's Vision 2030 by producing skilled technicians and entrepreneurs.

Its strategic location in a densely populated urban area makes it accessible to a diverse student population, contributing to the reduction of youth unemployment in the region.

Kasarani Technical and Vocational College conducts applied technical research and skills innovation aligned with the TVET CDACC Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET) framework and Nairobi County development priorities. The institution hosts annual technical trade exhibitions and participates in regional KATTI research fairs, showcasing student and faculty innovations in renewable energy (solar and biogas installations), metal fabrication, agricultural mechanization, electrical building services, and ICT business solutions. Applied research projects collaborate with local informal sector artisans (Jua Kali), county vocational directorates, and community micro-enterprises to deliver practical engineering prototypes and community-level economic solutions.
