The Kiranga Youth
Polytechnic is a Vocational Institution that was built by the local community
through Harambee (fund-raising) in 1958.
During the fund-raising,
thousands of villagers gathered from Kiranga and many nearby villages to
contribute whatever small amount they could manage thus leading to the
establishment of the polytechnic.
The communities around
the polytechnic had a noble vision behind the foundation of the institution.
They enabled the poor school leavers in the area to be equipped with technical
courses at a very modest cost this making them self reliant in future.
The Polytechnic’s vision is to have a
vibrant youth polytechnic producing specialists for their respective fields
while its mission is to equip the youth with technical skills at an affordable
cost to make them self reliant in future. The polytechnic has a total of
thirteen teaching staff and six supportive staff members.
The polytechnic offers the following
courses; Agri-Business, carpentry and joinery, electrical wiring, fashion
design, hair dressing and beauty therapy, information communication technology,
leatherwork technology, masonry (building and construction), motor vehicle
mechanic (M.V.M), motor vehicle electrician (M.V.E), metal work technology and
plumbing and water supply.
