HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Kiminini Technical and Vocational College (KTVC) is a public institution located in Trans-Nzoia County, Kiminini Sub-county, Sikhendu Ward and Konoin Village. It is one of the 70 Technical and Vocational Colleges (TVCs) that the Government of Kenya constructed in the second phase in order to meet the increasing demand for Technical, Vocational and Entrepreneurial training in Kenya and the world at large.
The college sits on a five acre piece of land donated by Konoin Primary school (four acres) and Konoin secondary school (one acre).
It was constructed as a result of concerted efforts by the Government of Kenya to ensure that each Constituency has at least one technical training institute by the year 2022.
The construction of Kiminini TVC commenced in the year 2015 by Zamalek Construction Company Ltd at a cost of Ksh. 60,000,000. The project was completed in September 2018 and officially handed over to Matili Technical Training Institute in January, 2019, the mentoring institute.
The college received a consignment of Equipments in clothing and textile in March, 2019 from the Ministry of Education through Avic International Company Limited from China. In September, 2019, a consignment of furniture was supplied to the College by the Ministry of education through a company called Annkite Technologies.
With this infrastructure in place and with the surging demand from the trainees who had expressed interest to join the college, the college opened its doors for training on 9th September, 2019.
