NAIROBI vans old skool wit , Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- Kenya's ministry of education on Thursday unveiled a new roadmap to revitalize vocational and technical training in a bid to boost employability of the country's youth.
Principal Secretary in the State Department of Vocational and Technical Training Dinah Mwinzi said the new strategy to address skills gap that is linked to high youth unemployment focuses on life-long learning and mentorship tailor-made for this demographic.
"We are committed to be globally competitive and prosperous as outlined in Vision 2030 and having a vibrant technical and vocational training sector will be key to achieving that goal," Mwinzi said.
Kenya has developed a robust policy framework to transform vocational training in the light of rapidly evolving dynamics in the job market.
Mwinzi said the Treasury in partnership with bilateral partners has earmarked new funds to upgrade and equip technical training institutions countrywide.
"We require vibrant institutions to train personnel for various positions in industry and the informal economy. Technical institutions are key to improve the skills set of young people entering the labor market vans old skool bruin ," said Mwinzi.
She added that Kenya has borrowed international best practices to address skills mismatch that has worsened unemployment in the country.
Kenya has developed one of the most vibrant technical and vocational training programs in Sub-Saharan Africa thanks to political goodwill and private sector investment.
Director General of Technical Vocational Educational and Technical Authority Kipkirui Langat said that a critical mass of highly skilled youth is key to tackle poverty and hasten Kenya's industrial progress.
"Our goal is to develop skills that are relevant to the needs of the industry and are adaptable to a fast changing technological environment," said Langat.
He added that the ongoing reforms in the curriculum seek to promote skills oriented learning in order to enable youth become self-reliant and provide solution to challenges facing their communities.

CHICAGO， Jan. 4 (Xinhua) -- Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) grains futures settle higher on Wednesday with soybean futures prices closing double-digits higher， on damaging crop-weather in Argentina.
Corn futures also rose， on track to extend their three-session winning streak as investors staked out positions ahead of annual rebalancing by commodity index funds. Wheat firmed on support from worsening crop conditions.
The most active corn contract for March delivery rose 4 cents， or 1.12 percent， to 3.5975 dollars per bushel. March wheat delivery added 12 cents， or 2.95 percent， to 4.185 dollars per bushel. January soybeans rose 20.25 cents， or 0.9 percent， to 2.04 dollars per bushel.
An easing in the dollar， after Tuesday's 14-year high， lent additional support as it makes U.S. commodities cheaper for overseas buyers.
Speculators stepped in to pull soybeans higher despite expectations of huge crops in key exporters Brazil and Argentina.
Crop ratings fell in December in parts of the U.S. Plains that endured a cold and dry month， including major hard red wheat growing states Oklahoma and Kansas， data released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture after Tuesday's market close showed.
Concerns about another cold snap in key growing areas were allayed by forecasts for snow， limiting the gains in the wheat market.
Corn has found support at the turn of the year from expectations that funds will rebalance portfolios in favor of the cereal.
In the outside markets， the Brent crude oil market is $0.84 per barrel higher， the U.S. dollar is lower， and the Dow Jones Industrials are 57 points higher at 19，939 points.
Jack Scoville， Price Futures Group vice-president， says that the US Dollar is sharply lower and looking like a top is possible.
"That is lifting all commodities to some extent today. Then， there is the South American weather with floods in Argentina and the dry weather in northern Brazil. That could mean much less from both countries， both corn and soybeans. Good price action today and it looks like a good close is coming，" Scoville says.
