dc.description.abstractThis study investigated the influence of County Government interventions on trainees’ skills acquisition in County Vocational Education and Training Centres (CVETCs) in Makueni County, Kenya. Guided by General Systems Theory, it examined staffing, facilities, and equipment, and funding interventions. The study adopted a sequential mixed methods approach, targeting 60 managers, 277 instructors, and 4,577 trainees, with a sample of 1,474 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using interviews for managers and questionnaires for instructors and trainees, with instruments validated by experts and tested for reliability. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS v29 through descriptive statistics and regression analysis, while qualitative data underwent content analysis. The response rate was 93.15%. Findings provide insights into the extent to which county funding interventions influence skill acquisition, offering implications for improving training quality, aligning programs with labor market demands, and enhancing the role of CVETCs in achieving socio-economic development goals.
