Electrical installation is one of the most in-demand technical skills in Kenya, especially at a time when electrical connectivity has increased tremendously to reach about 76% as of 2022. With this course, trainees are offered learning opportunities on the manual skills to wire and install Electrical systems, plus the practical knowledge to support, explain, and troubleshoot a wide variety of electrical projects. In addition, as revealed by various market scans by CAP YEI, warmer counties have heavily invested in solar energy and benefitted from philanthropic projects on the same. In Makueni for instance, the yearly temperature averages 24.19ºC (75.54ºF), which is 1.69% higher than Kenya’s averages. As a result, with electricity linkage being low, homesteads have resorted to solar power, especially for their domestic lighting needs – a move that have been supported by governments and external funders. Consequently, solar wireman course presents a livelihood opportunity to youths in these regions if they are properly trained.
