The Eldoret National Polytechnic Sets National Benchmark in Technical Training

 

The Eldoret National Polytechnic has cemented its place as one of the leading polytechnic institutions in Kenya, attracting over 18,000 students from across the country, thanks to its outstanding academic performance and industry-relevant technical training.

Under the leadership of Chief Principal Dr. Charles Koech, the institution has gained national recognition for producing graduates who are not only employable but also self-reliant — creating jobs and contributing to Kenya's growing technical workforce.

"We are proud to be at the forefront of technical education in Kenya," said Dr. Koech in an exclusive statement. "Our focus is not just academic excellence, but equipping students with practical skills that empower them to succeed in real-world industries."

The institution offers a wide range of technical, vocational, and entrepreneurial programs that align with the needs of the modern job market. Many graduates from the polytechnic have gone on to secure employment in both the public and private sectors, while others have launched their own businesses, becoming employers in their own right.

As preparations for the September 2025 intake gather momentum, the polytechnic has reported increased interest from prospective students in the coastal regions — particularly from Mombasa, Kilifi, and Kwale counties — who are eager to join its prestigious programs.

Dr. Koech attributed the growing demand to the institution’s reputation for quality training and student support. "We are seeing a strong wave of interest from the coast region. Students and parents are recognizing that technical skills are the future — and we are here to deliver that future," he added.

In a bid to support access to education, The Eldoret National Polytechnic also offers scholarships both locally and internationally, ensuring that deserving students from all backgrounds have an opportunity to pursue their dreams.

With continued investment in facilities, curriculum development, and industry partnerships, the institution remains committed to driving Kenya’s development agenda through education and skills training.

"We are not just educating students — we are transforming lives," said Dr. Koech. "Our doors are open to all young Kenyans ready to shape their future through skill, innovation, and determination." Write a news story'
