The PropelA Dual Apprenticeship project is a flagship skills development program which promotes an employer-led dual apprenticeship system for the construction sector in Kenya.
The project seeks to find lasting solutions to the rising demand and low supply of qualified technical skills in the market particularly, the plumbing and electrical trades.
The apprentices gain relevant skills training through the combination of two learning locations: on-the-job training in companies and theoretical learning in vocational schools.
The training model is organized in a way that the apprentices will work in the private partner company for 3 weeks a month under the mentorship and supervision of designated company mentors and will attend the TVET school 1 week a month.
