echnical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions and industries need more collaboration to provide relevant practical skills for industrialization. COVID-19 pandemic disrupted learning globally in all institutions since the year 2019, leading to a desire have alternative means of providing practical technical training to learners, including online learning. The research objectives for this study were to: determine the capacity of industry to provide technical training to trainees; probe trainees’ ability to use learning management systems that link TVET institutions to industry; and identify suitable assessment methods. This study investigated how The Eldoret National Polytechnic (TENP) and industry within Uasin Gishu County can collaborate to provide technical training. Several visits were made to selected companies participating in TVET training, in order to identify their best practices through one-to-one interviews, questionnaires, observation of activities and achievements, collection and interpretation of results. An attempt was also made to interpret enterprise-based TVET using theories and explanations applied successfully in other fields, as a means to achieve an original understanding using transferable and reliable methods of how TVET works, and why and where it is appropriate. The results indicated that linkages between TVET institutions and industry were weak. More consultations between the two parties as far as curriculum development, implementation, assessment and certification are concerned were needed.
