The circulating list covers trades from solar installation and electrical work to fashion design, plumbing and beauty therapy. Inclusion does not guarantee a kit. Trainees must appear on approved beneficiary lists and qualify.
The ministry says distribution for eligible Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 trainees will begin at centres. Kits are reserved for named beneficiaries.
Centres must inspect deliveries, verify quantities and trades, document shortages or damage, and complete the Physical Delivery Job Completion Certificate and digital acknowledgement on the TVET platform. The digital form must be submitted before the certificate is processed. Centres have seven days from delivery to complete acknowledgement.
Project Monitoring Committees (PMCs) will visit to check kits and records. Centres must report discrepancies.
What to Know
- Eligible Cohort 1 trainees who completed training will receive kits directly.
- Distributors will contact centres about delivery dates.
- Centres must ensure beneficiaries are present, hand over kits according to the approved list and account for kits.
- Trainees must log into their TVET portal and complete the Digital Starter Kit Acknowledgement Form after receiving kits.
Cohort 2 kits will reportedly be kept at centres until trainees complete their programme. Centres must protect them for practical training. Kits must not be sold, diverted or allocated outside the approved list.
