Cabinet Secretary for Ministry of Industry, Trade and Cooperatives, Adan Mohamed said the vibrant youthful population is expected to play a key role in stimulating industrial growth. He said the Government was investing heavily in technical and vocational training and education (TVET) among youths to arm them with technical skills to spur innovation. "That's why, as a country, we need to retool our economic and social policies to have inclusive and sustainable economic." The TVET conference has brought together public and private sector players to deliberate on how to remodel technical training to meet the labour demands of technological innovation and flexibility. "Without innovation," he said, "industrialisation will not happen and development will thus not be achieved."
