KABETE NATIONAL POLYTECHNIC – SIGNET INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA COLLABORATION

Kabete National Polytechnic in Kenya has partnered with the Signet Institute of Australia to offer Australian-accredited Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programs. This collaboration is designed to enhance Kenya’s TVET sector, provide new opportunities for Kenyan youths and align their skills with international standards.

Key aspects of the collaboration include:

• Accredited Programs: Starting in September 2025, the partnership will offer Australian-accredited courses at Kabete National Polytechnic in several high-demand fields, including Automotive Engineering, Business, Health, and Building & Construction.
• Skill Development: The programs are specifically tailored to meet industry demands in Australia, providing students with practical skills that are globally competitive. This is expected to help address youth unemployment by equipping students with competencies sought after in both local and international job markets.
• Global Linkages: The collaboration strengthens Kabete National Polytechnic’s standing as a center of excellence in TVET and fosters global connections, exposing students to international training and potential employment opportunities.
• Labor Mobility: The initiative aims to facilitate the labor mobility of TVET graduates to Australia, giving them a globally recognized qualification.
• Formal Establishment: The partnership was formalized with the official opening of a Signet Institute of Australia office at Kabete National Polytechnic. The launch was attended by key figures, including Kenya’s Principal Secretary for TVET, Esther Muoria, and the Australian High Commissioner to Kenya, Dr. Wilson Kogo.
