Wajir South Technical and Vocational College (WSTVC)

Wajir South Technical and Vocational College (WSTVC) was established in 2017 to provide vocational training tailored to the arid and semi-arid context of northeastern Kenya. Its mission is to equip local youth with practical skills in agriculture, livestock management, construction, and ICT, thereby reducing unemployment and fostering sustainable livelihoods.

The college offers Certificate and Diploma programmes in Agriculture, Livestock Production, Building Technology, Electrical Engineering, Information Technology, and Business Management.

The college collaborates with NGOs and government agencies to offer scholarships and bursaries, ensuring access for marginalized students. In 2026, it continues to expand its workshop facilities and introduce blended learning modules to reach remote

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