There may be challenges ahead for Paluoc finding its place in light of changes afoot in Kenya. The Kenyan government is implementing a policy aiming at 100% transition to High School. This could result in difficulties recruiting new trainees. On the other hand, there may be an opportunity as the government is also rolling out a training programme for young people to learn technical skills and are looking to partner with established training providers.
At Paluoc, trainees benefit from the skills and experience gained through the training as well as the income they are able to earn by helping with production at the workshop. The plan is to make production a key activity that runs concurrently with the training so that students do their practical lessons as they participate in production.
Focussing on paid work not only helps trainees to earn some income, but also supports the centre to become self-sustaining.
