The Kabete National Polytechnic is now Kenya’s Centre of Excellence (CoE) in scaffolding. “The project aims at introducing a more demand-driven and practice-oriented vocational training to improve the employability of young people in Kenya,” said KFMB Technical Director David Jomeli. “(Scaffolding) wasn’t an own professional occupation in Kenya up to now. It is found in the curriculum of technical vocational education and training programmes, but was mostly only a unit of about four hours, which introduced the topic briefly,” he said. The concept of a CoE allows the polytechnic to offer training courses for student programmes and be a link to industries by offering tailor-made programmes.
