The academy, a collaborative initiative between the Inner Mongolia Technical College of Mechanics and Electrical Engineering (IMTCME), China, and TU-K, is designed to serve as a dynamic, multidisciplinary platform for nurturing technical talent and cultivating artisan skills among young people. By promoting the spirit of craftsmanship, the academy aims to equip learners with practical competencies aligned with industry needs, while also fostering cultural and technological exchange between the two nations. Set to become a regional centre of excellence in TVET, the academy highlights the deepening strategic partnership between Kenya and China.
