Turkana University College marked a significant milestone in its mission to redefine vocational excellence. TVET Director Dr. Evelyn Kanus and Lead Trainer Dr. Tioko Logiron hosted an official delegation from the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority (TVETA) for a high-level evaluation focused on the development and implementation of the Competency-
Based Education and Training (CBET) curriculum.

The visit served as a critical data-collection exercise to assess how effectively the institution’s trainers are transitioning from traditional instructional methods to the more rigorous CBET framework. Unlike conventional education, which often prioritizes the memorization of theory for examination purposes, CBET represents a paradigm shift toward "doing" rather than just "knowing." This modern approach ensures that students are only certified once they have demonstrated a comprehensive ability to perform specific tasks to exact industry standards.
By scrutinizing the expertise of the teaching staff, the TVETA evaluation ensures that all programs remain strictly job-oriented and hands-on. This collaborative effort reinforces the institution’s unwavering commitment to providing students with more than just a theoretical education; it provides them with practical mastery and professional problem-solving skills that are immediately applicable in the workplace.
The ultimate goal of this initiative is to bridge the gap between education and employment. By focusing on the practical skills, right attitudes, and technical knowledge required by today’s employers, the institution ensures that every graduate is a skilled professional prepared to enter the workforce and contribute meaningfully to the national economy from day one. #turkanauniversity #tucnews #tuctvet
