History

 

The Machakos Institute of Technology is a Limited Liability Company by shares operating as a training institution under the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology.

The Institute offers Short, Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses in the following schools: The School of Social Work and Community Development, The school of Counseling and Psychology, The School of Business Education, The School of Computing and Information Technology, The School of Applied and Health Sciences and The School of Teacher Education. The Institute runs consultancy services in all its schools. The institution is in the process of developing programmes for the School of Engineering.

 

There has been great expansion in primary and secondary education over the years without a corresponding increase in mid- level training colleges and universities. This has led to the inability of majority of KCSE school leavers to access training, leading to a huge training gap. Inadequate skills at the middle level are harmful to the industry and society since the technological gap prevents it from social-economic advancement. Machakos Institute of Technology comes in to specifically address these skill gaps in order to spur the country towards attaining its vision of industrialization by 2030.
