Humber College has won three projects under the Young Africa Works-Kenya: Youth Employability through TVET (Young Africa Works in Kenya-TVET) initiative with a total value of $3,344,789. The program will run for three years through a partnership between Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) and the Mastercard Foundation.

Humber is the lead institution under Young Africa Works-Kenya-TVET-18, in a partnership with Vancouver Island University (VIU), Kenyan TVET institutions Sigalagala National Polytechnic and Bondo Technical Training Institute. Under projects TVET-21 and TVET-23 Humber will be the supporting institution, with Collège Communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick (CCNB) and Cègep Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu (CSTJ) as the project lead at five Kenyan institutions.

Through these three projects, Humber will support the development and implementation of TVET practices, policies, procedures and principles at Kenyan TVET institutions. Humber will help build inclusive and equitable capacity to bridge education and industry and equip Kenyan youth with the skills and training to contribute to Kenya’s economic growth.
