About

Kitutu Masaba Technical and Vocational College was established in 2016 to address the skills gap in Nyamira County and the wider Gusii region in Kenya. The college is committed to providing hands-on, industry-relevant training in engineering, ICT, hospitality, and agribusiness.

Its mission is to empower youth with practical competencies for self-reliance and employability. Offering certificate and diploma programs accredited by TVETA, the institution plays a vital role in Kenya's TVET reform agenda, aligning with the government's 'Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda' to foster local industrialization and reduce unemployment.

Research and innovation

Kitutu Masaba Technical and Vocational College conducts applied technical research and skills innovation aligned with the TVET CDACC Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET) framework and Nyamira 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.
