    Globally, researches assert that most educational institutions have strategic plans, but few implement them. This research sought to establish determinants of strategy implementation in Technical institutes which offer technical skills using Mombasa County, Kenya. The objectives of this study were: determine the association between f human resources and technology and strategy implementation. The study used resource-based view theory and Okumu’s implementation framework of assessing the relevant issues in the study. Mixed methods research design was used with a sequential exploratory design. The target population of 218 included the principals, chairpersons and trainers in the 6 registered technical institutes in Mombasa County. Data was collected from a sample size of 148 respondents using interviews and questionnaires. The analysis of qualitative data followed thematic and subject coding to evaluate the responses that participants offered in the interviews. Quantitative analysis involved both descriptive summaries and multiple regression analysis for checking relations between variables. The findings established that the general rating of the capacity of human resource and technology towards strategy implementation was generally moderate. Karl Pearson correlation coefficient obtained indicated that there was a strong association between human resource and strategy implementation and between technology and strategy implementation. This showed that indeed human resource and technology influences strategy implementation process. Hypothesis test done indicated there is significant association between human resource, technology and strategy implementation in public technical training institutions in Mombasa County. The study further recommended that the management should subject staff to frequent trainings on strategy implementation process to increase on the effectiveness of the implementation process. In addition, technology used in the institutions should be up to date and relevant as far as strategy implementation process is concerned. Moreover, there should be frequent maintenance and updating of the available ICT equipment while at the same time making them easily available to the staff
