Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) has partnered with a local firm to sponsor, train and integrate over 800 thousand passionate, skilled and professional painters, and give them a government certificate.

In a Memorandum signed yesterday between the TVET Principal Secretary, Dr Esther Thaara Muoria and the Group Chief Operations Officer, Richard Muturi, the memorandum highlighted how the two groups are going to bridge the growing need for professional painters in the industrialised world.

Speaking at her office in Jogoo House, the PS for the State Department told The Standard that she and Crown Paint have signed an agreement to train young people who will be interested in training as skilled painters.
