“…Adult and/or lifelong learning and continuing education is currently accepted as an important human requirement. This is stemming from the increased economic globalization of activities, owing to the increased competition among developed and developing countries for skilled labour force (Ojo-Ajibare, 2017), that is consistent with the constantly changing labour force. The labour force is constantly evolving with the introduction of new and advanced technologies in the labour market.…”

“…The two forces—rapid technological advancements and globalization—have offered varied opportunities (e.g., distance/online learning and informational exchange) for human development in the face of an uncertain future, which we must well prepare for (OECD, 2018). Children who joined learning institutions in 2015 for instance, will be young adults in 2030, and the education systems in place must prepare to offer such learners the much needed relevant and quality skills to help navigate future labor force and technologies, to address future problems (Ngware et al, 2019; Ochieng & Ngware, 2021). This must be a collaborative responsibility involving participation of all education stakeholders (learners, schools, and wider community among others).…”

“…This must be a collaborative responsibility involving participation of all education stakeholders (learners, schools, and wider community among others). Provision of the envisioned quality and relevant skills has the propensity to help learners to develop effective inquisitive, self-regulation, imagination, and resilience capabilities; be able to adopt and adapt to adversities, rejection, and failures; and appreciate and respect values, ideas, and perspectives of others, otherwise known as holistic learner development (Awiti et al, 2019; Baah-Boateng, 2016; Bartel, 2018; Ngware et al, 2019).…”

“…Notably, salaried employment opportunities are limited in most developing sub-Saharan African countries as a large percentage of these youth currently work in the informal sector (Muchira, 2018). The youth, therefore, need interventions, especially because they continue working in the informal sector (Filmer & Fox, 2014), where they are majorly affected by labour market rigidities (Popescu & Roman, 2018).…”

“…The government of the Republic of Kenya (GoK) and development partners pinpoint that the current training offered in the TVET institutions does not adequately prepare the youth to fit into the modern economy (Awiti et al, 2019; Ngware et al, 2019). Identifying pathways for mitigating barriers to successful skills development is integral to improving youth employability.…”
