Experienced workers who haven’t gone through formal learning processes will have a chance to have their skills certified, if the National Assembly ratifies a Bill that seeks to apportion the role to the National Industrial Training Authority (Nita).

The Industrial Training (Amendment) Bill, 2024 by Kisumu Central lawmaker Joshua Oron, if enacted, will see industry experts including carpenters, welders and masons among others, gain enhanced access to new job opportunities.
