Abstract:
In fulfilling The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Michuki Technical Training Institute has consistently contributed to economic development of Kenya and beyond through Food and Beverage, Catering and Accommodation courses, Fashion Design and Garment Making courses. This paper seeks to highlight the various technologies that are instilled in the learners and how they have led to a learner who is technically empowered with the right knowledge and skill needed in the market. These are realized in the following ways: the learner being sensitized on how to care for his environment by disposing of rubbish and chemicals in the right way, having the right communication skills for use in the market and entrepreneurial skills for self- development. The study uses The Conceptual Metaphor Theory which explains the technological terms used by use of mappings from the source to target. These help to simplify the terms by showing the value added by the technologies. Interviews are also conducted and are limited to class settings and workshops and photos provided where the learners are shown using the various technologies. Analysis of data is also shown using tables representing the technologies used. Finally, the results are presented, analysed, the conclusion is drawn and recommendations are given.
